The authorized project includes a 6.7 mile long channel 40 feet deep and 400 feet wide which connects to a turning basin 40 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide, and 4,253 feet long. The authorized shallow-draft portion of the project has been locally enlarged to deep-draft dimensions, thus obviating its need for Federal maintenance as a barge canal.ship canalsnavigational channelschannelsBook
