“New start” designation for Project 11 January 20, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
The Port of Houston yesterday received notification from USACE that it was awarded a “new start” designation and $19.5 million in federal funds to begin construction of the Houston Ship Channel Expansion Channel Improvement Project.
The project was authorized in the Water Resources and Development Act of 2020 as part of a larger legislative package passed by Congress in December.
The Houston Ship Channel Expansion – Project 11 – will widen and deepen the channel for safer and more efficient navigation of vessels calling the port’s eight public terminals and more than over 200 private facilities operating along the channel.
Congress OKs Houston Ship Channel expansion December 23, 2020, by Eldin Ganic
Earlier this week, Congress passed the 2020 Water Resources Development Act. The bill formally authorized the expansion of the Houston Ship Channel, which was recently ranked the #1 U.S. Port in total waterborne tonnage.
The channel is the busiest waterway in the nation, averaging 50 deep-draft vessel transits every day.
“The authorization to widen and deepen the Houston Ship Channel is BIG for our region, the state of Texas, and our nation,” said Executive Director,
Roger Guenther.
“It is BIG for economic prosperity and growth of industry that is served by the busiest waterway in the country.”
