Dredging Project of Forked River Channels

The state-funded dredging project of shallow navigational watercourses near Barnegat Inlet has already begun with the part dredging works of Forked River channels completed to maintain and ensure the safe navigation.

The dredge project in the Forked River channels, which included Forked River, Forked River Middle Branch, and Spur, the South Spur, and the channel known as the Elks Channel, began in August and was completed on schedule in September. The work is part of the $2.5 million projects to dredge the Forked River and Barnegat Bay channels. The dredge materials were hydraulically transported to the Oyster Creek confined disposal facility to drain.

The next project includes Double Creek Mainland, Double Creek Inlet, High Bar Harbor, and Barnegat Light Stake, located just off the municipal boat ramp. Dredging operations began last month and continue 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the end of December.
