Panama is planning a project to repave up to 400km of roads, in a six month . The project will cost US$75 million. Panama's Ministry of Public Works (MOP) has divided the project into separate contracts between 12 firms. Asphalt will be used for much of the work as this allows the roads to be re-opened for traffic more quickly. However, there have been calls for increased use of concrete in road construction in the country due to Panama's high rainfall levels and frequent need for road repairs. The contractors involved in the road repair work include 3151 Constructora Urbana (Cusa), FCC and Conalvi.
