It\u2019s due to open in  April 2015.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The project is a response to a problem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The canal is reaching its maximum capacity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">It\u2019s  carrying more traffic than it was designed for and is unable to handle  the Fabiolas of the world.

The neighboring ports of  Los Angeles and Long Beach, which together handle about 40% of the  nation&#8217;s imported Asian goods, could lose as much as a quarter of their cargo business by some estimates after the Panama expansion is completed in 2014.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toyota relocation to North Texas is one of the
