Nice work! You're now crossing the Sagamore Bridge, heading to Cape Cod.
The Cape Cod Canal first opened to vessel traffic more than 100 years ago, but construction of a 480-foot wide, 32-foot deep, and 17.4 mile long channel was approved by the Rivers and Harbors Act of August 30, 1935. The work was initiated in 1935 and completed in 1940, making the Cape Cod Canal the widest sea level canal in the world at that time.
