The Ruta del Café and Second Entrance to Boquete road project, managed by the Ministry of Public Works (MOP) in Chiriquí, is progressing with significant paving operations. The current phase focuses on laying 4,300 tons of asphalt over a 5.896-kilometer stretch between Jaramillo Abajo and Jaramillo Arriba. Specialized machinery, including pavers and compactors, ensures the quality and durability of the road surface. In addition to paving, crews are constructing and shaping concrete gutters to enhance drainage and manage rainwater, crucial for the upcoming rainy season. The comprehensive project will improve approximately 25.2 kilometers of roadway across four different sections. This infrastructure development is expected to directly benefit more than 23,562 inhabitants in Boquete and surrounding communities. The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen regional road connectivity, stimulate local economic activity, and promote agrotourism, a key sector for the Boquete area.
