Port Everglades, Fla., Expansion Project

This year, 2015, the Chief of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in Washington, D.C.., approved increases in various dimensions of Port Everglades, Florida, widening some areas, lengthening others, and deepening still others, to allow the Port to compete with the gigantic Panamax vessels planned for use in a larger third lane and lock, renovations in the original first two lanes and locks first completed over one hundred years ago, and changes in Lake Gatun, a major source of water for the three lanes and locks.
