Rare h20skibum Posted April 28, 2023 #780 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Did they do away with the swing bridge when they built the Atlantic bridge? When we were there in 2014, I happened to catch a shot of a bus on the swing bridge in front of the lock Edited April 28, 2023 by h20skibum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted April 28, 2023 Author #782 Share Posted April 28, 2023 With that we are around 85 feet above sea level and our lake cruise begins. Looking toward the earthen damage that created the lake. Flood control and hydroelectric power generation. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also did the tour with Dora and that was terrific. Yesterday did the locks and Panama City which was also wonderful great over view. And of course today it is all about the locks as there are so many amazing pictures already and internet is spotty I will not post more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that when we went through the Canal many years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
