Will Panama Canal be expanded?

Due to the huge increase in ships transiting the Panama Canal over the last decade, it was decided to expand the canal.

Expansion will build a new lane of traffic along the Panama Canal through the construction of a new set of locks that will double capacity and allow more traffic and longer, wider ships.


However, the bids came in about 35% over budget.

I suspect the Panama Canal authority will ask for rebids.
