Bridge of the Americas

Panama Canal, Bridge of the Americas

The Bridge of the Americas spans the Panama Canal near its entrance on the Pacific Ocean.  It is part of the Trans-American Highway, which extends from Alaska to Argentina, missing only a small segment in the Darien Jungle near the Panama/Columbia border. After going under the bridge toward the Pacific, the skyline of Panama City is soon visible on the Port (left hand) side of the ship.
