Biscayne Point Canal Waterway Dredging
Project Overview:
The City is working to restore navigability throughout the Biscayne Point canal system by removing invasive plant species and accumulated sediment, conditions that were significantly worsened by Hurricane Irma in 2017. The reduced water depth has limited boat access for residents and has made portions of the canals difficult to navigate.
This project will conduct maintenance dredging in shallow sections of the waterways to re-establish safe and reliable navigation. The goal is to achieve a minimum depth of –7 ft NAVD, improving safety and access for recreational vessels.
- DERM permits and FDEP exemptions have been issued. The consultant is currently in active negotiations with the USACE and permit issuance is anticipated Summer 2026. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) process will commence following issuance of the USACE permits.
