Burlington Harbor Dredging project begins this week!
Dredging of marina facilities at Perkins Pier & the Community Boathouse at the Burlington waterfront began on December 15, 2025 with contractor mobilization. Crews set up a work area north of Maple St. adjacent to the Perkins Pier public boat launch (no parking in this area for duration of project).
Harbor dredging will start on December 22 at Perkins Pier. Dredging tentatively expected to take six weeks (highly-weather dependent).
This maintenance project will allow for full operation of our marinas, both at the Burlington Community Boathouse and Perkins Pier Marina. It has been more than 25 years since the last dredging of these facilities. Both areas were negatively affected by sediment build-up over the years, compounded by recent floodwater infiltration. This project will ensure safe boat navigation in the harbor.
