Panama monorail line nearly 40% complete

Bnamericas

Construction of the US$2.8bn Panama metro line No. 3 is 39% complete, Metro de Panamá reported. 

The authority said on Tuesday that the viaduct on which the monorail line will run has been built on several stretches of the route like San Bernardino, Vista Alegre, Burunga and Loma Cová.

Nearly 603 beams have been installed to date.

The line will connect Panama City to Arraiján district, located on the western side of the Panama Canal. It is expected to have 14 stations in the first stage. 

The project was awarded in February 2020 to Consortium HPH Joint Venture, which includes the companies Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Posco Engineering & Construction and Hyundai Engineering Corp.

Line 3 has encountered some technical problems during its construction and is running behind schedule. This is mainly because of the geological conditions in the area, for which specialized tunneling machinery had to be built.
