Because of this question coming up on Reddit and the resulting comments, I went and got the book “The Path Between the Seas” on audible. The French tried to do a sea level canal first just a few hundred feet wide and it’s difficult to overstate how much effort that would have taken. Doing it in a canal a mile wide would cost hundreds of billions of dollars and probably take decades.
