VIDEO: Groundbreaking of Brazos Island dredging project

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Galveston District, Port of Brownsville, and NextDecade, LLC, celebrated the groundbreaking for phase two of Brazos Island Harbor Channel Improvement Project earlier this month.

This project is one of four nationwide Public-Private Partnerships (P3) announced by the White House in June 2019.

According to USACE, the project will deepen the Port of Brownsville Ship Channel from 42 to 52 feet and will facilitate increased cargo movements, reduce transit times, and increase the channel’s operational safety.
