Canal will be ready this May, says Varela

Friday, January 8, 2016


Panama’s president has announced that the long-awaited expansion of the Panama Canal will be completed in May, despite a series of cost overruns, labor disputes and other snafus that have plagued the project for years.

With the project about 96 percent complete, Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela urged the consortium in charge of the expansion on the 101-year old canal to put aside legal disputes and focus on finishing the project.
