Massive dredging project ahead for the Port of Corpus Christi

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District is announcing a public review and comment period for the Port of Corpus Christi Authority’s (PCCA) Channel Deepening Project.

The PCCA Channel Deepening Project is located near Port Aransas and Nueces and Aransas counties in Texas.

According to the Corps, the proposed action would deepen the existing channel from its currently authorized depth of 54 feet to 77 feet and extend the existing offshore channel limits an additional 29,000 ft. into the Gulf of Mexico.

The proposed action would span approximately 13.8 miles from Harbor Island to the Gulf of Mexico, generating approximately 47 million cubic yards of new work dredge material.
