The Minister of Public Works (MOP), Rafael Sabonge, announced that they plan to "gradually open traffic on the Bridge of the Americas- Arraijan highway in both directions" on Sunday, May 30.

Sabonge, together with his team, visited the repair work of the Pan-American highway in Arraiján on Friday.

In recent days, residents of Panama Oeste have complained about the traffic congestion that caused the closure of this main road. They reported that it took them up to four hours to reach their homes when on a regular day they can spend around an hour.
