The under-the-bay tunnel is one of three major projects at PortMiami intended to attract more cargo traffic after the widening of the Panama Canal is completed in 2015. It will take another year for the $1 billion tunnel project to be completed with paving of the two-lane highways inside the twin tubes of the tunnel, one going east from Watson Island to the port and one going west from the port to Watson Island.
