Nicaragua plans to build a new interoceanic canal as an alternative to the Panama Canal. Ha! Epic. Nicaragua? Build? An alternative to the Panama Canal?

At a recent summit focused on strengthening trade between China and Latin America, Nicaragua announced its plans to construct a new Grand Interoceanic Canal. The proposed route aims to provide an alternative to the Panama Canal, which has been facing challenges due to low water levels.

The 445-kilometer canal would pass through Lake Nicaragua, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. With a width of 290 to 540 meters and a depth of 27 meters, the canal is designed to accommodate large modern vessels. This initiative has the potential to become a significant infrastructure project, enhancing economic ties between China and the Caribbean nations.
