Maintenance dredging underway in Bridport Harbor

Essential maintenance dredging is continuing at Bridport Harbor, Dorset Council said this morning.

This project is designed to support vessel access, safe navigation, and ensuring efficient long-term operation of the harbor.

According to the Council, West Beach will remain closed until the work is completed, which is expected to be within the next 10-14 days.
