Representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and the Port of Terrebonne met in Houma, La., September 8 to sign a partnering agreement in support of the Houma Navigation Canal (HNC) Deepening Project. The project, which would deepen the 36.7-mile-long Houma Navigation Canal from 15 to 20 feet, has an estimated construction cost of just under $253.5 million. The Houma Navigation Canal connects the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico and serves as an important channel for oil and gas production and shipbuilding. |
