While building a road across the Darien Gap is very tricky, if there would be a will, a tunnel across the Gulf Of Darien could solve the problem easily. It's not an engineering problem really merely an economical one: the cost of such a tunnel might exceed the yearly nominal GDP of Panama.

Where would the tunnel connect to on the west side? While there seem to be many villages and resorts along the west side of the gulf, I don't see that any of them are connected to Panama's road network. I don't see road connections anywhere beyond Cuango, or maybe a town or two to the east.
