The Alabama State Port Authority celebrated the official launch May 21 of the construction phase of the project to deepen and widen the Mobile Ship Channel and improve the lower harbor turning basin. The multi-phase, $365.7 million project will deepen the Port of Mobiles bar channel, bay reach and river channels bar to a depth of 50 feet. "We are extremely excited to see material moving on this crucial project," Alabama State Port Authority Director and CEO John Driscoll said. "This project, along with the collaborative support of our federal and state partners, will provide our customers and our carriers the necessary infrastructure to ensure their market competitiveness." Taking into account wave allowances, advanced maintenance and allowable over depth for dredging, the Mobile Ship Channel will offer total depths of 56, 54 and 54 feet for the bar, bay and river channels bar, respectively, according to the port. |
