The Plaza de Panama project will transform the core of Balboa Park into a grand public space for San Diego.  By removing cars from the heart of the park, the Plaza de Panama, Plaza de California, West El Prado and Esplanade will be restored to their historic use as pedestrian park spaces.  The new Centennial Bridge and Road will provide an alternate route for vehicles that avoids pedestrian areas and leads to a new underground parking structure topped by a 2-acre park.  The project will create 6.3 acres of new parks, plazas and promenades out of what are now roads and parking lots. The Plaza de Panama project is scheduled to be complete in time for the 2015 Centennial Celebration, and will provide spectacular venues for this yearlong celebration in Balboa Park.
