Wetlands Creation in the upper Bay.

A plan to turn dredged material into 1,200 acres of wetland habitat south of the Causeway is fully funded and moving toward construction.

Port Authority Director Doug Otto told board members during a Thursday meeting that contracts will be awarded in November, under construction by the first of the year and complete by Thanksgiving 2027. The site will provide about 20 years of new capacity to receive dredged material from the authority’s terminal facilities.
