About Chagres Crossing Northbound Centerline Range Front Lighthouse
This square skeletal tower, built in 2018, stands 20 meters tall on a pier on the west side of Gamboa, Panama. It features a white daymark with a black vertical stripe and emits a continuous yellow light. The lighthouse serves as the front range light for the Chagres Crossing Northbound Centerline Range. Its purpose is to guide northbound vessels along the centerline of the navigation channel. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted. It is located near the Panama Canal, approximately 3.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for the safe transit of northbound vessels through the Chagres River section of the Panama Canal, aligning ships along the designated centerline and preventing groundings.
