New Buffalo’s outer harbor dredging set to begin

Locally-funded dredging of New Buffalo’s outer harbor is set to begin this week as Viking Marine is mobilizing to the site.

Abonmarche Consultants, Inc. designed and permitted the project earlier in 2022 to open up critical shoaling of the Galien River mouth.

Through a competitive bid , the City awarded the contract to Viking Marine.
