South River Dredging

The Towns of Scituate and Marshfield have extended a contract for the dredging of the South River to include Area B. Area B is being located approximately 600’ South and 200’ East of the recently completed project.

In order to take advantage of the tides and favorable weather conditions, the contractor, Burnham Associates, Inc. of Salem, MA, has requested the hours of operation be extended to 5 AM to 10 PM/7 days per week.  It is anticipated that work will be performed through September 30, 2019 within this additional area. The contractor will be utilizing 2 barges and working with the tides for loading of barges and exiting the project area.  This will complete the dredging of the section of the South River and provide safe navigation for all the boating public.
