Virginia port's ability to compete for megaships called into doubt – DC Velocity: "In the meantime, the New York/New Jersey port authorities are working on a $1 billion project to raise the 151-foot-tall Bayonne (N.J.) Bridge connecting New York and New Jersey by an additional 64 feet to provide adequate clearance for the mega-containerships expected to transit the expanded canal. The work is scheduled to be completed by 2016. The project is part of a multibillion dollar effort that will include deepening the port's channels to 50 feet from their current depth of 45 feet."
