Please note the below regarding the channel closure at MM. 0.0 – MM 2.0 AHOP for removal of a dredge discharge pipeline that’s crossing the main navigation channel. As we understand there will be another closure required. We will pass along further information once received. .
The contractor has advised the channel will open at 20:00 as scheduled. During the removal operation, half of the pipe broke and fell back to the bottom of the river in the original location.
It appears that another river closure between Mile 0 and Mile 2 will be required later this week, probably Saturday. We will advise once confirmation is received.
