The Port of Seattle Commission has approved nearly $5 million in projects that will improve seaport facilities, dredge the waterway at Terminal 5, and provide land for South Park Bridge replacement footings, the Port of Seattle press release said.
Commissioners also authorized CEO Tay Yoshitani to develop a strategy for development of port facilities at Terminal 91.
The projects targets include replacement of four mooring dolphins on Harbor Island for accommodation of four 400-foot barges and generation of additional revenue for the seaport division; maintenance dredging for Terminals 5 and 18, ensuring adequate depth for navigation and cleaning the waterway by capping contaminated sediments; strategic plan for developing unused property around Terminal 91; and Granting permanent easements over port property to King County for reconstruction of the South Park Bridge.
