Last week, I was walking along the Panama City’s waterfront, where they had just completed the Cinta Costera project. This basically was a massive project where they overhauled Panama’s waterfront from a drab and chaotic two-way street, and a rather run-down marina/yacht club and converted it into a pretty impressive open space and traffic thoroughfare. I took these pics because I was just so impressed at how damn good the waterfront looks now compared to before.
What’s most interesting about this improvement project is the fact that they finished it in less than 18 months! Pretty amazing when you consider that the project includes several bridges and overpasses as well as an extension of several thousand cubic feet of earth to create more shoreline. The fact that something like this can be completed in record time in a place like Panama makes it all the more impressive.
I for one surely plan on spending more time out here when I’m in the city.
