Great Lakes Dock and Dredge will be installing submerged dredging pipeline across the main channel, Delaware River, in the New Castle Range, immediately south of Pea Patch Island.

Mariners are advised that pipeline will be floating across the channel and extending outside both the green and red buoy lines during the evolution.
