Rivers Project Manager
Update: As of September 3, 2022
The dredge Potter expects to be done about noon today 3SEP, then will need a little time to build tow before moving to his next dredge location just above JB bridge.
The pipeline goes across the navigation channel, so no traffic will be able to pass until he is done.
The Dredge Potter may be contacted on VHF-FM radio channels 13 and 16.
