UAE-based National Marine Dredging Company has won a $272 million contract for dredging a section of the Suez Canal where the container ship Ever Given ran aground more than a year ago.
The grants went to projects in 12 states. U.S. DOT says it received applications totaling more than $10 billion, far more than the approximately $300 million it had available.
The two ports are using $703 million in grants awarded this fall under the federal funding law for projects, from hardening facilities against extreme weather events to reducing emissions.
Texas DOT says crews from joint venture contractor Flatiron/Dragados LLC can lift
delta frames into place and continue construction of the main span
towers.
