Slight correction...The Delaware is being dredged. And a few sites indicate a Summer 2019 completion.

The Philaport already has the Southport land directly on the Delaware that can expand the South Philly port area by more than double. It is currently being used as the auto import area.

And for what it's worth, they seem to have some slight capacity issues. The ship that carried the drugs is still docked at the port as it appears they are removing every container. As a result, there have been a few ships anchored off of Cape May for a bit.
