en.Wedoany.com Reported - The US Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District, awarded a $1.78 million contract to Ryba Marine Construction Company of Michigan in late April for dredging operations in the federal navigation channel of Rochester Harbor in 2026.

The Corps of Engineers noted that the dredging project at Rochester Harbor ensures adequate depth for large vessel navigation, maintains the smooth flow of commerce in the Great Lakes region, and generates approximately $2.7 million in local business and labor revenue. Under the plan, approximately 250,000 cubic yards of sediment will be removed from the federal navigation channel by the end of July, with the dredged material placed in the open lake.

Dredging at Rochester Harbor is typically conducted on a biennial basis, with the schedule depending on funding availability and actual needs. The harbor was last dredged in 2024, when approximately 80,000 cubic yards of sediment were removed.
