Panama Canal Culebra Cut Compared With Nochistongo Excavation
The Engineering News compares the Panama Culebra cut with the Nochistongo ditch near Mexico City. It notes Nochistongo began in 1640 and finished in 1759, 12 1/2 miles long, 197 feet deep and 361 feet wide, with about 64 million cubic yards moved by native labor. The Culebra project will exceed Nochistongo in depth and width, though the latter was built without machinery.
