A $3,422,395 addendum to the cost of the 2-kilometer section that will connect Line 2 of the Metro with the Tocumen International Airport will raise the price to $150 million.

After adjusting the work schedule after the pause caused by the pandemic mobility restrictions it is estimated that the project which is 82% complete will enter into operation in the first quarter of 2023. The contract is with the Ramal consortium made up of the Brazilian company Odebrecht (CNO) and the Spanish Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC).

The works related to the railway system registered progress of 34% and the Metro explained that the gap with the civil works is due to the delay caused by the pandemic in the formalization of the contract.

The extension of line 2 will have a station at the Higher Specialized Technical Institute of Panama (ITSE) and will end at the new Tocumen passenger terminal.
