A recent earthquake in Panama has forced the closure of the road through Cerro La Cruz, impacting access to El Valle de Antón. Authorities estimate the closure will last approximately one month as repairs are undertaken. As an alternative route, drivers are advised to utilize the Pan-American Highway and enter El Valle de Antón via Las Uvas de San Carlos. This detour is expected to add travel time for those commuting to and from El Valle de Antón. The closure affects transportation and access for residents and visitors alike. Officials have not yet released details regarding the earthquake's magnitude or other resulting damages beyond the road closure. Further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.
