New Era for Mississippi Valley With Southwest Pass Jetties
The Southwest Pass jetties near completion will open the Mississippi River outlet to deep draft ships within about eight months after 30,000 feet of concrete wall is finished. A government dredging program has spent 2,226,500 dollars toward deepening the pass, with a planned 6,000,000 dollars overall. The project uses mats and cement to form four mile long jetties that drive a current, carry sand seaward, and create deep navigable channels to New Orleans.
