Long Beach dredging project kicks off
The Port of Long Beach said dredging work on its main channel will begin Tuesday.
The $40 million project entails dredging the harbor to allow more heavily laden oil tankers to use the channel. The project, which is scheduled to take 17 months, will allow 'the largest oil tankers to turn around in the port and to approach their berths fully loaded.'
The port didn't specify the depth to which the channel will be dredged.
