Construction Commences on San Miguelito Cable Car Project

After a two-year hiatus due to the October 9 earthquake, construction is set to resume on the San Miguelito cable car project. This development is crucial for residents of the district, as it promises to alleviate daily traffic congestion and potentially create job opportunities.

According to President Mulino, the project, which includes a 6.6-kilometer line of cable cars and six stations, is estimated to cost approximately $255 million. The cable cars will connect with Metro Line 2 at Cincuentenario. The mayor of San Miguelito, Irma Hernández, has emphasized that the project will benefit not only the district but also all of Panama, generating jobs and providing much-needed transportation.

This news is particularly important for expats and digital nomads living in or near San Miguelito, as it will significantly improve their daily commutes and potentially enhance the area's appeal as a tourist destination. Residents can expect to see construction underway in the coming months, and it's worth keeping an eye on local news for updates on progress and any related changes to daily life.
