The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/panama-google-maps\/\">Panama<\/a> Canal was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers between 1904 and 1914. In 1977, an agreement was signed for the complete transfer of the Canal from the US to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/panama-google-maps\/\">Panama<\/a> by the end of the century. Certain portions of the Zone and increasing responsibility over the Canal were turned over in the subsequent decades. With US help, dictator Manuel NORIEGA was deposed in 1989. The entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/panama-google-maps\/\">Panama<\/a> Canal, the area supporting the Canal, and remaining US military bases were transferred to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/panama-google-maps\/\">Panama<\/a> by the end of 1999. An ambitious expansion project to more than double the Canal&#8217;s capacity &#8211; by allowing for more Canal transits and larger ships &#8211; was carried out between 2007 and 2016.
