Panama Canal Locks To Be Made Wider As Board Recommends
Washington reports the locks for the Panama Canal will follow the majority board’s design, at sea level, widening to 10 feet more than the current 95 foot width. Plans now in Congress call for 95 foot wide locks with 66 foot usable length, but the commission says adjusting sizes remains within congressional discretion. Chief Engineer Stevens weighs cement needs for larger locks, noting vast daily output would be required for years, and shipping logistics favor foreign suppliers for the bulk of cement. Construction is not expected for about two years, with cement shipping and procurement posing challenges.
