Work is now complete for the Panama Canal third bridge project. Costing US$590 million, the bridge features two lanes in either direction and has a 530m central span. These dimensions make the bridge the longest span four lane, cable-stayed structure in the world. Called the Atlantic Bridge, construction started on the link in early 2013. The new link will help reduce journey times for commuters as well as helping Panama’s tourist trade. Design work for the project was carried out jointly by the China Communication Construction Company and Louis Berger Group (WSP Global).
