Panama's Government is investing heavily in infrastructure with plans for projects worth US$3.5 billion in hand and a further $1.5 billion expected to be announced within five years. Bridge and highway projects figure heavily in the infrastructure investments. Key projects include building a fourth bridge over the Panama Canal and widening the Interamericana road between Santiago de Veraguas and David (Chiriqui) to a four lane highway. Other projects include widening the Corredor Sur road to a six lane highway (via Empresa Nacional de Autopistas), and building a tunnel on the Interamericana road. The fourth bridge spanning the Panama Canal is being considered for its suitability for the PPP model.
