The Waterways Journal has been covering dredging and marine construction news on the inland rivers since 1887.

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (NASDAQ:GLDD) announced on May 16 that it had been awarded a $122 million contract to deepen Miami Harbor. The project is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of this year and will deepen Miami’s shipping channel to 50 feet. The Corps of Engineers awarded the base work for this project which includes deepening the offshore entrance channel.
