Charleston Harbor Project Ahead of Schedule, Under Budget

Charleston's Post 45 Harbor Deepening Project is expected to be completed sooner and cost less, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Charleston District said July 11. It said the deepening project's feasibility study, initially expected to be completed in 5-8 years, is now expected to be finalized in fewer than four years, so a 50-foot deepening project for Charleston Harbor can be finished four years earlier than initial projections. The Corps also announced a cost savings of about $5 million for the feasibility study.
