Over the next two weeks, the crew of the Currituck will remove the silting and shoaling along the federal channel by relocating approximately 14,000 cubic yards of material to a near shore site.

The dredging will be at no cost to the city and will help ensure that Connecticut’s most popular recreational harbor remains safe to navigate.
