DETROIT, Mich. â Emergency dredging of St. Joseph Harbor will begin in early June.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the emergency dredging will expedite the process to restore critical navigation.
During this yearâs annual channel survey, the Corp of Engineers says they identified a shoal restricting the channel depth.
According to the Corp of Engineers, the restriction was as little as 13 feet below low water datum in some areas, which effectively closed the inner harbor to commercial navigation.
