On Tuesday, workers were out on the Mississippi River using the equipment near the Bayview Bridge.

According to the officials, the dredging program is expected to help the water flow along with depth of the river.

The Quincy Bay has often dealt with silt accumulation, making it unsafe for boaters and others out on the water.

Quincy received a 3.5 million dollar grant to dredge both the lower and upper bays.
