The two dredges to be used in the Cherry
Grove Dredging Project should arrive in North Myrtle Beach at some point on
Friday, October 21.
As a precautionary measure, the South
Carolina Department of Transportation had stopped the trucks carrying the
dredges at the South Carolina/Georgia border in order to first ensure that
roads and bridges could handle the load following the flooding that impacted
roadways in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. The trucks were released for
transport today.
Much of the pipeline that will be used to
transport dredged material to the spoils basin has been put together (attached
photo).
A large crane (attached photo) will be
used to launch the dredges and small barges carrying large booster pumps
(attached photo).
Depending on schedule availability of the
crane operator, the dredges and booster pumps will be launched Friday and Saturday,
or Friday and Monday.
