Chatham dredging work about to begin

Town of Chatham, MA, said that the Robert B. Our Co. will begin dredging associated with planned waterfront improvements for 90 Bridge Street on Mitchell River on January 11.

According to the plan, approximately 2,000 cubic yards of material will be mechanically dredged using a barge and crane.

Additional barge “scows” will be utilized to dewater the material, which will then be transferred for off-site upland disposal.

Navigation in Mitchell River and through the Mitchell River Bridge will be kept clear for vessels during the approximately three weeks the work will take place, the Town said.
