Port of Virginia gets federal approval to become US east coast’s deepest port
Legislation signed on Tuesday gives full federal approval to dredge the Port of Virginia’s channel to 55 and 56 ft depths and widen it up to 1,400 ft, a plan the port authority says will accommodate its customers’ largest ships
The dredging project, which is set for completion in 2025, will allow two-way traffic of ultra-large container vessels
