Years in the making, dredging of the Royal River is planned for the fall
YARMOUTH, ME - The U.S. Army Corps budgeted $3 million for the
project to dredge silt from the river’s harbor. This long-awaited project is
increasingly important for navigation safety, commercial fishing and the
economic strength of the working waterfront in Yarmouth.
Yarmouth Boat Yard Owner and Chairman of the Harbor and
Waterfront Committee, Steve Arnold, said “This will allow bigger boats up the
river safely and strengthen the commerce of the working waterfront in
Yarmouth.”
The dredging is expected to begin in the fall and will take
approximately three to four weeks to complete.
