Dredging at sunrise

Dredging was required to the south of the existing bridge where the new parallel drawbridges will be constructed. The dredging operation began early on October 20, 2000. Approximately 340,000 cu. yds were dredged in the initial phase to a depth of nine feet for the width of the new bridge. This will allow large equipment to move into place for the next phase of construction, pile driving.
