USA: Swinomish Channel Dredging About to Begin

American Construction Co. of Tacoma has won a $1.88 million contract from the Army Corps of Engineers to dredge the Swinomish Navigation Channel.

According to djc.com, the Port of Skagit on September 18 will hold a ceremony to mark the start of this project.

The contractor plans to move in its dredger before the event and start work the next day.

The shallowest area, at the south end near Goat Island, is expected to be dredged first.
