# USACE Deepens New Haven Harbor Channel

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has begun the New Haven Harbor Improvement Project, a multiseason dredging effort to deepen the channel from 35 to 40 feet and widen most of it by 100 feet. Great Lakes Dock and Dredge Co. is performing the work, which is scheduled to continue through March 2028. No contract value or solicitation details were reported, so the project is underway rather than an identified open competition.

- Companies providing dredging, marine construction, or related support services may find opportunities through subcontracting or project support; the reported signal identifies no active solicitation.
- The channel improvements are relevant to port and maritime infrastructure stakeholders planning around New Haven Harbor during the project period.
- The work began in October 2026 and is scheduled to conclude in March 2028.
