CAPE CARTERET â The long-awaited Old Ferry Channel/Deer Creek dredging project approved by Carteret County commissioners last week is expected to start in earnest the first week of January.
That was the word Dec. 14 from Greg Rudolph, manager of the County Shore Protection Office, which oversees dredging, after a pre-project meeting Friday.
Old Ferry Channel runs through Bogue Sound from Cape Carteret to Emerald Isle, crossing the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and Deer Creek and its tributaries afford water access to hundreds of Cape Carteret boaters who want to get safely out into the sound and the AIWW.
âT.D. Eure will start dredging in earnest the first working day of the new year and plans to address the Old Ferry Channel ⦠itself first,â Mr. Rudolph said in an email. The Beaufort company was the low bidder for the project at $1.45 million. âThey will likely work from the farthest point (near the AIWW) towards the mainland.
