Dredging in East Pass Delayed But On Track Says Corps
A spokesman for the U S Army Corps of Engineers says East Pass dredging may be delayed slightly but will meet the contract time. Hendry Corp of Tampa won the Destin job but its dredge is still dry docked in Tampa and could depart within two weeks. Colvin cautions the notice to proceed is not yet issued and weather could affect the 60 day window. The main channel work remains the priority and a partial sub contract near the Destin bridge is being considered but not filed.
