Town of Beaufort issued the following announcement on Mar. 22.
Beginning Thursday, March 24, 2022, the public may experience limited access to Carrot Island and the public beach access on Radio Island due to the east Taylor’s Creek dredging project. The public is asked to be aware of and stay alert to the construction equipment, buoys, barges, and other equipment during this time.
The boating public is asked to keep a safe distance from the dredge and dredge effluent pipe during times of operation. Boaters should proceed through dredging maintenance and construction zones with the utmost caution. No wake speed should be observed in active work zones throughout the project duration. The dredge pipe will be marked for visual reference. Depending on the contractor’s progress, the project may last up to 30 days. Updates will be provided through the Carteret County Shore Protection Office and Carteret County Government social media as the project progresses.
Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our Carteret County waterways and public access areas. Enjoy the boating and fishing!
