Green Bay, WI (WTAQ) - As the Fox River Cleanup Project gets closer to downtown Green Bay, project engineers are reminding boaters to be alert.
It’s the seventh season of work to remove harmful PCBs from the river. An annual meeting held Friday by the Port of Green Bay included an update on the $1 billion project that will eventually cover 13 miles of the river.
Since late last month, dredging barges have been back on the Fox River in Brown County.
“We’ve just completed our third week. We’ve probably dredged 55,000 cubic yards,” said Richard Feeney, a project engineer for Tetra Tech – the company leading the project.
The work moved north this year to an area that includes 14 business terminals.
Project leaders are coordinating with shipping companies and recreational boaters so everyone can maneuver safely on the water.
