Holden Beach Central Dredging Project

Holden Beach’s Central Reach Project is scheduled to begin dredging operations on Thursday, Dec. 15. The dredging project will begin Nov. 15 and lasts through March 31, 2017.

The project will dredge 1.31 million cubic yards of sand to put along 4.1 miles of Holden Beach shoreline, from 240 Ocean Blvd. E. to 781 Ocean Blvd. W.

The sand for the project will come from a site two miles offshore and will be dispersed along the stretch of beach using a hopper dredge. The bid for the dredging work was awarded in September to Weeks Marine, which is a marine construction and dredging contractor based in Cranford, N.J., in the amount of $14,551,110.
