In the agreement negotiated between Tocumen and the company at the end of September, the contractor will assume the investment to put all the sidewalks into operation, while Tocumen will pay for maintenance, which was not included in the original contract. In addition to the lack of maintenance, the sidewalks presented problems in their operation due to design failures and that being exposed to changes in temperature on the outside, condensation occurred when coming into contact with the air conditioning. https://www.newsroompanama.com/travel/tocumen-moving-sidewalks-operating-after-three-year-break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
