WASHINGTON, DC – Congress has approved a sprawling bill to improve the nation’s ports, dams and harbors, restore shorelines and support other projects, including in the Puget Sound.

The massive Water Resources Development Act would authorize billions in spending for projects nationwide.

The bill also would help improve harbors in Seattle; Savannah, Georgia, and Puerto Rico.

The bill also sets up a new framework for large water projects run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The Senate approved the bill, 99-1, on Wednesday, sending it to President Trump.
