ONTONAGON, MI— The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District plans to dredge three Lake Superior harbors this summer through fall.
Viking Marine Construction of downstate Holland was awarded a $1.6 million contract in May.
The company will dredge Port Wing and Cornucopia harbors in Wisconsin from mid-August to mid-September. Michigan’s Ontonagon Harbor is scheduled for hydraulic dredging from mid-September through October.
The dredged material will be placed in the nearshore beach area northeast of the harbor. The harbor was last dredged in 2024.
The operations will address sediment buildup in critical Great Lakes areas.
To maintain safety during dredging and placement operations, the public is asked to stay clear of all fenced-off and posted areas.
