Dredging resumes at Cotuit Bay Entrance Channel

Beginning next Monday, October 7, Barnstable County Dredge and the Town’s contracting partner, Dig-it Construction, will resume dredging activity as part of the Cotuit Bay Entrance Channel Dredging Project.

According to the officials, the crews will dredge the channel approaching the Bay and use the dredged materials for beach nourishment at the eastern end of Dead Neck Island.

Work is set to occur Monday through Saturday from 7 am to 5 pm, with Sundays considered as needed to achieve full completion of the project by the end of November.  

“Those operating vessels are advised to use caution when navigating around the dredging area to ensure the safety of the workers, themselves, and the general public,” the official statement reads.
