The largest infrastructure project since the waterway's original construction, the Panama Canal Expansion Program will create a new lane of traffic along the Canal through the construction of a new set of locks, increasing the waterway's capacity. The new locks will have three chambers, water-saving basins, lateral filling and emptying system & rolling gates.

Pretty amazing what they are doing for the Panamax ships and in general in Panama.
