The Atlantic Bridge is a modern cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Panama Canal near its Atlantic entrance, connecting the city of Colón to the western side of the canal. Completed in 2019, it is one of the largest bridges in the region and provides a vital transportation link. Visitors can drive or walk across the bridge to enjoy panoramic views of the canal, the Gatun Locks, and the surrounding tropical landscape. It is an excellent spot for photography, especially when large ships transit the canal below. The bridge also offers a unique perspective on the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal.
Don't miss
- Drive or walk across the bridge for sweeping views of the Panama Canal and Gatun Locks.
- Watch massive container ships and cruise liners pass through the canal beneath you.
- Capture stunning photos of the bridge's architecture against the tropical backdrop.
