Welcome to Panama Guide Higher Ticket Prices for Domestic Flights in Panama![]() ![]() Irregularities in the Transmóvil Bidding Process![]() New 1,000 Meter Long Airfield in the Darién![]() Whoops - Construction On Both Routes Into Panama City![]() By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Thanks to the construction and repairs being conducted on the Bridge of the Americas, traffic authorities are asking drivers to use the Centennial Bridge as an alternate route. But, when all of those drivers listened to their advice and used the other bridge this morning, they realized the authorities simply forgot to mention the ongoing construction of a new cloverleaf interchange on Tumba Muerto where most of the traffic comes into Panama City from the area of Cerro Patacon. So, there was a huge backup, and a truck loaded with sand came into the curve too fast, lost control, and caused a five car pileup. Hey, at least they're spending money, fixing old bridges, building new ones... Copyright 2008 by Don Winner for Panama-Guide.com. Go ahead and use whatever you like as long as you credit the source. Salud. Repairs on the Bridge of the Americas Complicate Traffic Entering Panama City![]() ![]() By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Repairs being conducted on the Bridge of the Americas, which crosses the Panama Canal and connects the interior of the Republic of Panama to the capital of Panama City, have reduced the capacity of the bridge down to only two lanes. In an effort to minimize the impact on traffic, the traffic division of the Panamanian National Police started an "operation" this morning, changing the direction of the flow of traffic every fifteen minutes. Apparently that wasn't such a good plan, because most of the traffic this morning wanting to cross the bridge were commuters coming from the interior towards Panama City, and there was almost no traffic to take advantage of the 15 minute windows in which flow was changed towards the interior. The police will execute this same "operation" this afternoon for the evening commute, and you can expect they will modify their plan somewhat. As an alternative, use the Centennial Bridge whenever possible. The repairs on the Bridge of the Americas are expected to continue through April 2009.

Don, I am moving from Panama next month and have a car I need to get rid of. My time is limited, so I came up with a unique way to try to get it sold...

Saludos, Steve Smith cel. 6727-9615" My obvious question for Steve was "and why don't I just keep my mouth shut and go pick up the free (or really cheap) car in a couple of weeks.

"China" Run Down by Diablo Rojo in Crosswalk on Via España![]() ![]() By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - This morning a woman of Chinese descent was hit by one of Panama's famous "Diablo Rojo" (Red Devil) buses as she tried to cross Via España using a crosswalk, near the Blockbuster where Via Argentina meets Via España. When I arrived on the scene and started talking photos of the accident, immediately witnesses told me "hey, take a picture of the potatoes, there's the proof..." The woman had walked up to the corner store to buy a couple of potatoes and carrots to make lunch, and she was hit while returning to her store, the Electronica Caribe on Via España. And sure enough, there were two potatoes right in the middle of the crosswalk where she was hit. The force of the impact sent her flying about 15 meters down the street where she landed. (more) |
