Have they started dredging the Mississippi to accommodate the new size shipping containers ships? I know New York had to raise a bridge and have been preparing.

The problem are bridges, not depth.

Not so fast my friend. Studies. We need to do studies first. Lots of them so that it'll delay any progress for 40 years. - Louisiana government.

Do they fit thru the Panama Canal or avoid it completely?

They deepened the channel to 50 ft. Recenetly.

As far as bridges... The bridge closest to the mouth is the GNO so that's why the new port plans are all south of there.
