Thirty years after it was first identified as a problem, the long-awaited dredging of John’s Pass is finally complete.
Bayside Dredging, the company contracted for the project, removed more than 13,000 cubic yards of sand from the pass, helping to restore safer navigation through one of Pinellas County’s busiest waterways. The dredged material was hauled about 1.5 miles to a city-owned property at 555 150th Ave., where it will be stockpiled for future use as fill material.
