Meanwhile bids are being received for the first section of the Corredor de las Playas road project. This involves widening the 36.3km route between La Chorrera and Santa Cruz so that it has three lanes in either direction, boosting capacity. Panama’s Ministry of Public Works (MOP) has set a reference price of $627 million for this section of the project.
