Wide enough! God knows what He's doing.
By the way, there is a pillar in Egypt, and it's counterpart on the other side of the Aegean Sea.
They were erected by Solomon to commemorate the location where Israel crossed to the promised land.
Interestingly, even though the water is about 1,000 ft, between those two pillars oceanographic charts show an underwater passageway abou 100 ft below the surface. Yes, God knows what He is doing.
Blessings, One-Way

No one knows for sure. Apparently it was wide enough for Pharaohs army with chariots to ride in after them before the walls of water collapsed on them.
Exodus 14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians." 26 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen." 27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the LORD threw the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained.

Schollars today say that, "red sea," is a miss translation. The bible says, "sea of read."

Probably not truly parted, just very shallow.
