In Panama the highway operator ENA is looking for funding for work to key road stretches on the North and South corridors. The work is expected to cost US$260 million. The work will include a new 10km stretch as part of Phase II of the Brisas del Golf - 24 Diciembre road at a cost of $114 million. The construction work will be carried out by Mexican firm Ingenieros Civiles Asociados (2765 ICA), which will receive $52 million from the Fiduciary Fund for Development. The rest is still to be sourced. Various solutions are being investigated by the Panama Government. But the decision to commence the road building without having the necessary funds has been a source of controversy. Further work for this project includes increasing the number of lanes on the South Corridor from three to six and is expected to cost $146 million.
