Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog.
We love to have an update on any
important infrastructure project especially in regard to Texas Ports. Well, we have blogged on Port of Brownsville’s
Brazos Island Harbor (BIH) Channel Improvement Project since early 2023, and we
blogged periodically on updates on the project throughout the last couple years. Well, we finally have some wonderful news!
Did anyone see the Port of Brownsville’s
Newsletter: Ports Matter on July 14, 2026, their article titled, “Port of
Brownsville Celebrates Completion of BIH Channel Improvement Project”? In the article, it announced the Brazos
Island Harbor (BIH) Channel Improvement Project completion was celebrated at
the end of June, and representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Galveston District, NextDecade and the Brownsville Navigation District
(BND) were present for the ribbon-cutting celebration. The BND’s BIH project dredged to lower the
Brownsville Ship Channel 10 feet, starting at the opening of the channel and its
jetties were lowered to 54 feet and the central channel was lowered to 52
feet. The project was completed on time
according to our blog on Segment B which was June 2026. The completion of BIH project shows how
public-private partnerships help America and the communities who live near
them. This is great news for the Port of
Brownsville. If you would like to
