Panama City's mobility is set to improve as the new interchange connecting Costa del Este and the Corredor Sur reaches 51% completion. Empresa Nacional de Autopistas (ENA) reports that this infrastructure project is crucial for easing vehicular traffic into the capital's eastern sector and downtown.

The project involves creating new access points and connections, designed to streamline circulation for drivers. A critical phase of construction, the lifting of beams, is scheduled between July 22 and July 25. This work will impact traffic on the Corredor Sur, with partial and temporary closures implemented to facilitate the installation of beams in both directions.

ENA has outlined specific traffic management plans, including lane closures and brief total traffic halts, particularly during beam lifting operations. Drivers are urged to stay informed through official ENA announcements and adhere to posted signage. The current construction phase is anticipated to be completed by November.
