Canal route

摘要

The Nicaraguan government and concessionaire Hong Kong Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Co. (HKND) have released details of the route for the proposed Atlantic-Pacific canal across the country. Conceived as a rival to the Panama Canal, the scheme was announced in June last year following a controversial vote in Congress. The canal will start at the port of Brito on the Pacific coast, and pass through Lake Nicaragua before following close to the Tula and Punta Gorda rivers to enter the Caribbean Sea at the port of Bluefields Bay.
