The start of the undergrounding project for the electricity, telephone and television cables is a fact. The project will build subway tunnels to pass the utilities cables through them instead of going through the air as usual.
The project is promoted by the Public Services Authority and aims that the city looks cleaner, colorful and moving through the city should be more comfortable.
In an interview with Edwin Castillo, Director of Telecommunications of the ASEP, said the benefits of the project are manifold because the city will display a cleaner look, will improve the safety of pedestrians and vehicles, and even remove some overpasses.
The luminaries will be wireless so the appearance of the city will be clearer and visibility, both pedestrians and people in the industry, will have a greater range.
Initially the project will take place in Panama City, and then continue with the Colon Free Zone, Santiago de Veraguas and Chiriquí.
It is envisaged that the project will create more traffic congestion, so be patient Mr. Driver.
