Los Chorros reopens in both directions on Sunday morning, earlier than planned

Traffic on the Los Chorros stretch of the Pan-American Highway was reopened on the morning of Sunday, November 8, after crews finished clearing debris and cleaning up following the rock blasting, the Presidential Press Secretariat said. The preventive closure had begun at midnight and was scheduled to last until 11:59 p.m., according to ContraPunto. Diario La Página reported that Public Works Minister Romeo Rodríguez announced the reopening in both directions from 11:30 a.m., "much earlier than the time that had been planned", in the outlet's words (our translation). The controlled detonations were carried out before dawn on a slope in the area known as Tadisa, after which crews with heavy machinery removed the rocks and debris from the road, according to ContraPunto. The work is part of the 14.7-kilometer widening of the Pan-American Highway, which includes a viaduct, according to that outlet.
