THE DREDGE IS BACK AT WORK AT RUDEE INLET

ILLUSTRATION: Staff photo by STEVE EARLEY

The dredge is back at work at Rudee Inlet removing sand and pumping

it on the beach. Sand was swept into the inlet over winter,

resulting in some boats running aground while trying to navigate the

shallow channel. The $520,000 price tag is being shared by the city

and the Army Corps of Engineers. Work will be complete sometime in

May.
