You'd have to deal with the Chagres (assuming the current drought ends) as well.
The original excavation was done mostly dry and massive by any standards: 27kt of dynamite were used.
I'm also not a digger, but 26 meters of dredging over a 13km distance sounds crazy expensive. You would have to also widen the valley to prevent landslides into the canal.
