JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The video attached to this story is from a previous, unrelated story.
Dredging efforts in the Intercoastal Waterway in St. Johns County will take place round-the-clock from April 14 until the end of July.
The efforts will focus on the Palm Valley North Reach. Dredging will begin at the Duval/St. Johns County line and continue southward to the Palm Valley Bridge.
All boaters should exercise caution in the work area, a press release from the US Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville said.
Boaters should look out for floating pipelines and follow directions for passing the dredge.
The Intercoastal is being dredged to address "problematic shoaling," meaning, essentially, parts of the waterway that are too shallow. Approximately 641,500 need to be removed from the channel.
The effort is being led by the US Army Corps of Engineers and funded by a combination of federal money and funding from the Florida Inland Navigation District.
