Dredging Project at Barnegat Bay

New Jersey transportation officials on Monday announced an $8.7 million projected to dredge channels in Barnegat Bay – specifically near the area of Barnegat Inlet. This portion of the project will include five heavily-traveled channels: Double Creek Mainland, Double Creek Inlet, High Bar Harbor, and Barnegat Light Stake.

NJDOT’s contractor, Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, is now working to place pipeline in or near the channels, which will be both submerged and floating. The pipeline will be used to pump sediment to the Oyster Creek Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) and sand to the Barnegat Light beach near the Barnegat Lighthouse Stake Park.

Dredging operations are expected to begin in early October and continue 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week through the end of December. This project will ensure renewed safe navigation and maintain these Barnegat Bay Channels in a state of good repair.
