Panama Metro Line 3 Opens
- Panama Metro Line 3 is a 24.5 km monorail with 11 stations under construction, linking Ciudad del Futuro (Arraijan) with Albrook station and Line 1; the first Japanese-technology monorail in Latin America, with 26 six-car Hitachi trains[1]
- Its route includes an underground section with a tunnel under the Panama Canal, about 3 km under the navigation channel within a 4.5 km connection, excavated at a depth of 65 m by the tunnel boring machine "Tuneladora Panama"[3]
- A sixth addendum ($765 million), endorsed by the Contraloria on 4 December 2024, split Line 3 into two phases (elevated and underground) with the Korean HPH joint venture (Hyundai E&C and Posco E&C), raising the cost from $2,844 million to $3,989 million[2]
- Phase 1 is due in 2027 and phase 2 in 2028; Telemetro says it could be operational in 2027 from Ciudad del Futuro to Panama Pacifico[2][3]
- Wikipedia puts the cost at more than US$4 billion (from US$2.6 billion), citing design changes, 2023 protests and materials costs, with the final cost undetermined; dynamic testing on the viaduct had begun by 2026[1]
