Moreover, the RFP calls for demolishing the Cocoli Bridge and clearing 190 hectares of unexploded ordnances (UXOs), remnants from former United States training facilities in the Canal Zone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The release of the third dry excavation RFP is yet another example that the Expansion Program is on track and proceeding with great progress,&#8221; said Executive Vice President of Engineering and Program Management Jorge L.
