Dredging operations that will facilitate major improvements to port facilities on the Charlottetown waterfront will get underway in a matter of days.
Beaver Marine Ltd. of Halifax was awarded the contract for dredging operations that will remove 2,800 cubic metres of silt and other material from this part of the harbour and deposit them elsewhere in the harbour.
Stan MacPherson, chairman of the Charlottetown Harbour Authority, said the dredging will take place around the clock until that aspect of the job is complete.
