  • Panama City authorities have worked on 4.5 kilometers of the Centenario highway through joint cleaning and maintenance operations.
  • Crews are removing overgrown vegetation and debris, collecting solid waste, and clearing drainage channels.
  • Officials say the work should improve visibility, drainage and safety, especially during the rainy season.

Panama City authorities have intervened along 4.5 kilometers of the Centenario highway in a cleanup and maintenance drive aimed at restoring one of the capital’s main access routes.

The municipality is working with the Urban and Household Cleaning Authority and the Ministry of Public Works. Crews are cutting and removing overgrown vegetation, collecting debris and solid waste, and clearing gutters and drainage systems.

Authorities say accumulated rubbish and uncontrolled plant growth can reduce the road’s appearance and drivers’ visibility. Blocked gutters and drainage channels can also allow water to build up on the highway during the rainy season.
