Keith Woolford Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 This protest on Via Transistmica made it very difficult to navigate around Panama City this morning. At one point people were driving over the median to get turned around. (including me) Police broke it up and opened the route again earlier this afternoon. http://www.tvn-2.com/nacionales/estudiantes-universidad-Panama-cierre-Transistmica_0_4491300856.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
