Panama Canal Expansion Project – May 2016 Update

In little over one months’ time, the Inauguration Ceremony of the new Panama Canal will mark the completion of the largest infrastructure undertaking in the waterway since the original canal construction back in 1914.

The official opening ceremony of the expanded canal will take place on Sunday, June 26th 2016, according to the Panama Canal Authority (ACP).

The project was initially set to be finished at the end of 2014, but due to some setbacks the date was pushed back to 2016.
