Boston port plans boosted by state waterways commission
The Waterways and Public Lands Commission outlines a $4.5 million request for a dry dock and plans a vast Boston Harbor program. Proposals include bulkheads at Jeffries Point, Pier 1 extension, river basin work, dredging, and a two to four track tunnel linking East and South Boston lands with state rail lines. The project aims to attract postwar maritime business and may offer Jeffries Point berthing to the U S Shipping Board for wartime use.
