Expansion project of Port Everglades

The Broward County Commission recently approved a $437.5 million contract with Moss/ Kiewit. This major development at the port will allow for five additional berths for cargo ships. In addition, the turn-around area for ships will be lengthened.

Construction work on the port is expected to begin around June of 2018. The work will include adding the berthing spaces and dredging the port to make it deeper so it can handle larger container ships.

The port needs more berths for cargo ships to support population growth in South Florida and needs more vessels to get cargo to consumers. The project will support more economic growth for the South Florida region. What’ more, this expansion will mean more jobs for the area.
