According to the Corps, the offshore dispersion is proceeding south from the vicinity of Seaview St. toward Lovers Lane.
The project is being executed under a $2.9 million contract awarded in June to Cottrell Contracting Corp. of Chesapeake, Virginia.
Overall, the work includes dredging approx. 120,000 cubic yards of shoaling from Cuts 1, 2A and 3 of the federal channel, including wideners and settling basin, to a required depth of 12 feet plus 2 feet of allowable over-depth.
Dredging and placement will continue 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the project is complete in late August/early September.
