Abstract
Berths 57 to 59 will extend Berths 55/56 so that the entire Berths 55 to 59 wharf and yard will increase the size of container handling facilities at the Port of Oakland by more than 120 acres, or 25%. B57-59 extend from the eastern end of B56 in the middle harbor channel, meeting the western tip of B60 3,600 feet away at a fifteen degree angle. In addition to the design of the wharf, this project includes the design of dredging and embankments under the wharf and at the UP Mole west of B55/56. All excavated material will be reused on Port property, either as fill in the container yard or in the area northwest of the wharf designated as the North Cell. The North Cell will later become part of a public beach and park.
