The Dry Canal project is viewed as a much needed economic boost to the Chiriqui region. Estimated investment amounts range from $7 to $19 billion, depending on the model they follow. The construction period of the project has been estimated in three stages of 3 to 7 years, and hiring a workforce of 77,000 to 123,000. These additional jobs would be welcome in the region!
In the Pacific, the main port would be located in Puerto Armuelles, district of Barú. The main entrance in the Caribbean would be in Chiriquí Grande at Punta Robalo, 当然, this means the container port would finally have to be built in Puerto!
