I have been waiting for this announcement for a long time. This will be huge for Chiriqui and for Panama as we see roadways and the connectivity continue to improve.
In mid-2013 authorities will put out to tender the renovation and widening to four lanes of 280 kilometers of road between Santiago de Veraguas, and David in Chiriqui.
Prensa.com reported that “the announcement was made by the Minister of Public Works, Jaime Ford, in an interview with Telemetro Reporta, in which also said that the estimated cost of the works will be around $700 million.”
In previous statements the minister said that the work would be contracted using the turnkey format, which means that the construction company would be responsible for funding.
