October 8, 2021. Upland trees and shrubs have been delivered and planting is underway in some areas where dredging has been completed—in the Riverway on either side of Netherlands Road and in the Fenway between Avenue Louis Pasteur and the Museum of Fine Arts (Work Areas 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9).
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers overview focuses on preparations for the dredging work which is anticipated to begin in October 2020.
On Saturday, we implemented a traffic change in order to continue work on the project. This shift will allow us to construct the new left turn roadway from Riverway onto Park Drive North
