Initial work on the first phase of the Vizhinjam port project has begun. Building a breakwater and a 3 km long channel to connect the port with the deep waters are the two works that have been taken up for execution in this phase.
Land reclamation for port building will be taken up once the first two works are carried out.The dredging that is on at present is for the channel. If things go as planned, the construction of the breakwater, 3.1 km in the first phase, will take approximately 30 months.
Going by Adani Group ‘1000 days’ promise, phase one will be inaugurated on 1 September 2018.
