Parts of it already are two channel. The parts which are single lane allow only transit in one direction at a time currently, so twining it will not solve the current problem.
It is also likely cheaper to widen than dig a while new canal. They will revise prices for wider ships to justify the expense of the widening project. There is not enough transit traffic to recover a full two lane system today.

- corobo 5y agoWell apparently it's been blocked five times since it opened in 1869 so that might be a bit of a premature optimisation.
