Tunnel mooted for Cinta Costera expansion

A tunnel under Casco Veijo and leading to the Avenue De Las Poetas is the latest proposal for the third phase extension of the Cinta Costera.

The extension would then circle Chorillo, before moving on to the Amador Causeway.

The extension of the coastal strip in this area has drawn criticism for its potential impact on the historic Old Town.
In presenting the city's road realignment, , Federico José Suárez, MOP minister, said the bidders could submit different proposals.

So far all the work on the Cinta Costera has been done by one company which was granted the $52 million no bid contract for the second phase, circling the Fish Market.
