Engineers Favor Sea Level Panama Canal Plan
The Tatmina Canal Commission's engineering committee releases the first definite Panama Canal construction plan. A sea level route would cost about 280.5 million dollars and take 10 to 12 years, with a 150 foot wide channel and 36 foot minimum depth. It proposes a dam at Gamboa for Chagres river control and limits surface elevation to 60 feet above sea level, comparing costs to a lock canal and arguing long term traffic benefits justify the extra expenditure.
