Bushy Park dredging project in full swing

The Bushy Park Dredging project is in full swing with dredging taking place within a portion of the Cooper River at Bushy Park Landing.

The $5 million project includes but is not limited to mobilization, demobilization, dredging, transportation, disposal, and supervision for removing approximately 150,000 cubic yards of unclassified sediments within the dredge area, which is from the Cooper River to the saltwater side of Bushy Park Landing.

The sediment is being delivered to the Clouter Creek South Cell disposal site in North Charleston. Crews are dredging down eight feet and 200 feet across at low tide.

According to the Berkeley County Government, J.F. Brennan Company is anticipated to complete this dredging project within 2-3 weeks.
