Houston Ship Channel Expansion Authorized by Congress
On Monday, Congress passed the 2020 Water Resources Development Act. The bill formally authorized the expansion of the Houston Ship Channel, which was recently ranked the #1 U.S. Port in total waterborne tonnage. The channel is the busiest waterway in the nation averaging 50 deep-draft vessel transits every day. These are just the latest milestones reached by the busiest waterway in the nation, averaging 50 deep-draft vessel transits every day.
“Today’s announcement is BIG. The authorization to widen and deepen the Houston Ship Channel is BIG for our region, the state of Texas, and our nation,” said Executive Director Roger Guenther. “It is BIG for economic prosperity and growth of industry that is served by the busiest waterway in the country.”
