Cashman Dredging and Marine Contracting Company, LLC of Quincy, Massachusetts, has won a $9.3 million contract for the Housatonic River dredging project.

Work will be performed in Madison, Connecticut, with an estimated completion date of March 15, 2018.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, is the contracting activity.
