When the work: was started there Was a saying that "the lentgth of time It (lakes to build the eanal depends on the time It takes to build the Culebra cut." But later the words " Gatun locks" were subtituted for "Culebra cut." There is a system of three twin locks at Gatlin. Two million five hundred thousand cubie yards of concrete were nsed In their construction.
