Port of Redwood City to replace aging wharves in $20-million renovation

The Port of Redwood City is embarking on a $20-million-project to replace two failing wharves built in 1940.

The connected wharves will be destroyed late in 2012 and replaced by one 426-foot long, 58-foot wide concrete wharf, which will be connected to existing wharf improvements. The new dock will be able to accommodate two 700-foot long ships.

Manson Construction has been awarded a $13.9 million contract for the project, which includes building an 800-square-foot longshoremen's building, lighting and electrical upgrades, a 920-foot long seawall, and a new road and parking area.
