Building a Canal The Bates Plan for a Sea to Sea Route
The Panama question centers on sea level or lock methods. Lindon Bates proposes a largely landlocked canal with lakes and sluice dams to drown swamps, reduce sanitation risks, and speed passage. His design uses electrically operated locks at each end, a central Lake Chagres system, and a nine mile excavation base, claiming costs under 145 million dollars and a ten year completion window.
