170 feet wider, on time and on budget, and they didn't just dump the dredged material, they built 10 acres of bird islands, 324 acres of oyster reefs, and 800 acres of marsh with it. That's the "America actually built something" angle that worked for the Hudson Tunnel one.
I knew the army corps of engineers had a hand in this!
This is how you do infrastructure right. Army Corps widening channels while creating 10 acres bird islands + 324 acres oyster reefs + 800 acres marsh from dredge instead of dumping it. Industry + environment both win. More of this.
