acc to Don Winner theres a new road closure.....hopefully it will be removed by Friday...
Fires, Traffic Accidents, Two Protests, And A Squashed Motorcycle
Outside of Panama City, the Pan American highway is blocked in two places according to the Firemen of Chiriqui. In San Felix the roadway is closed by protesting indigenous Ngabe Bugle Indians. And in the Aserrío de Gariché the roadway is being blocked due to a community protest (like over a lack of drinking water or something).
