Nhoroondo yezvisikwa
Pashure pePanama Canal yakavakwa, zvakaitika kuti maguta ePanama neColon akaparadzaniswa nenyika. Dambudziko iri harinetseki kwete vagari vemo chete, asiwo hurumende. Nhamba yemotokari dzinoda kuyambuka isstmus yakawedzerawo. Pamusana pechikamu chinogara chiripo chezvikepe pamitambo yakasvibiswa, nguva refu migwagwa yakaumbwa. Miti yakawanda yakatangwa, asi yakanga isingagoni kubudisa mumugwagwa.
Mushure mezvo, hurumende yePanamani yakasarudza kuvaka bhiriji risina musoro, uye muna 1955 Chibvumirano chakakurumbira chaRemon-Eisenhower chakasimbiswa.

Tsanangudzo yekuvaka
Bhiriji reAmerica maviri rine unyanzvi hwakanaka hwemagetsi: yakagadzirwa nekrete uye simbi inogadziriswa kuvaka, iyo iyo yepamusoro inogadzirwa nenzira yechitubu. Iyo yakareba yakareba yebhiriji ndeye 1654 m, nhamba yemapapiro kubva pakatsigirwa kusvika kumutsigiro iine mamiriyoni 14, iyo huru yacho ndeye 344 m uye inosanganiswa nechechi (iyo inonyanya chikamu chep span), iyo inosvika 259 m.
Nzvimbo yepamusoro yegadziriro yacho ndeye 117 m pamusoro pegungwa. Kana iri lumeni iri pasi pemaonero makuru, pamvura iri 61.3 mamita. Nokuda kwechikonzero ichi, zvikepe zvose zvinopfuura pasi pebhiriji zvakajeka kukwirira kwemiganhu.
Bhiriji kubva kumigumo yayo miviri rine ruzivo rwakawanda runoita kuti chipinda chichengetedze uye chibude kubva kune icho, uye chakaparadzaniswa mumigwagwa 4. Uyewo kune nzira dzekufamba uye mabhasikoro kune avo vanoda kuyambuka chiratidzo chavo pachavo.
Bhiriji reAmerica maviri muPanama maziso akanaka kwazvo, kunyanya usiku, painovhenekera kubva kumativi ose nezviedza. Pfungwa yakanakisisa pairi inotanga kubva pakatarisana nechiteshi chepamusoro, chiri pachikomo, pedyo negwenga. Maonero akanaka achavewo kubva kubhodhi yeacht muBalboa , pane imwe yezvikepe zvakawanda zvakasungirirwa pano.
Kana uchida kuona kuti ngarava dzinopfuura sei pasi pebhiriji, haufaniri kusarudza imwe nguva yeiyi: nhamba huru yezvikepe zvinogara zvichipfuura pasi payo.
Pakutanga, Bhudzi reMakungwa maviri eAmerica akayambuka mamiriyoni 9.5 zviuru pazuva. Muna 2004, yakawedzerwa, uye kuburikidza nayo iyo inopfuura 35 000 motokari yakatanga kudarika. Asi kunyange chiyero ichi chakanga chisina kukwana kudiwa kwekuwedzera, saka muna 2010 Bridge yeCentury yakavakwa.
Nzira yekuenda seiko?
Kana uine motokari, zvadaro zviri nyore kusvika kuBridge reAmerica maviri, nokuda kweizvi unoda kutevera Pan-American Highway. Uyewo pano unogona kutora teksi kubva pakati peguta iri pedyo, mari inenge isingadariki $ 20.
