USACE Baltimore District announces that the USACE owned Dredge, CURRITUCK is scheduled to work in the Ocean City, Md for about a month, with about 25 days focused on Assateague Bypass work and about 5 days focused specifically on dredging shoaling hotspots in the inlet channel.
Crews will be placing dredged material just south of the inlet offshore of Assateague Island where it counteracts erosion.Assateague bypass work involves removing material from both in and around the channel, with an emphasis on the ebb and flood shoals – mitigating impacts to natural sediment transport caused by the Ocean City Inlet and its jetties.
