Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
Facts
- In June 1949, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between Corpus
Christi and Brownsville opened. It is 423 miles long in
Texas.
- In 1975 the Legislature made the department the local sponsor
of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The department had to
assist with such things as helping the corps find suitable areas
to place the sand dredged from a channel during maintenance and
improvement of the waterway.
