Panama's traffic is getting worse especially for those traveling to or from the West is going to become more painful for the next 10 months following a Ministry of Public Works announcement that starting Saturday August 29 they will be performing intermittent closures of the Bridge of the Americas for the whole of that period.
Work on an extensive rehabilitation has been dragging and will be extended until June 2016.
The Ministry advises drivers to use the Centennial Bridge or Omar Torrijos Avenue. The work includes reinforcement of the slab rolling, paint, hardware changes, and more.

The Centennial Bridge is the only other option I know of unless they (Rabi Blancos) spend a lot of money BBBB to reopen the Miraflores swing bridge? For the bridges & routes see: https://www.google.com/maps/@8.9925591,-79.5907119,12.75z
