A Â Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB), Ayesa and Louis Berger has been awarded a five-year project management and consultancy contract for line 2 of Panama’s emerging metro system.
The €23.5 million deal will see the consortium overseeing construction of the new 23-kilometre line.
In April, the city celebrated the opening of line 1, which was delivered by a consortium comprising FCC, Brazilian company Odebrecht and Alstom Transport.
