New Jersey Department of Transportation team has won a National Recognition Award in the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) 2024 Engineering Excellence Awards competition for the Manasquan Area Channels Maintenance Dredging Project.
The $7.2 million project restored eight channels in Manasquan to make it safer for boaters to navigate the waters.
The dredging work removed approximately 80,000 cubic yards of material from the channels which was then used to expand the dog beach and parking lot.
Overall, the project included dredging the Sawmill Creek Riviera Beach, Glimmer Glass, Watson’s Creek, Sherman’s Creek, Wills Hole Thorofare, Manasquan Yacht Club, Clarke’s Landing and Debbie’s Creek Channels.
