SUFFOLK, Va. -- Martin Willis, captain of the Currituck, gives a project brief to Karen Guerra, Norfolk District mechanical engineer and project manager of the Bennett’s Creek dredging project. The Wilmington, hopper dredge began dredging the shallow draft federal navigation channel April 20, 2013. The Currituck will remove 4,000 cubic yards of sand -- a result of shoaling caused by natural transport and deposit of sediment. The shoaling was exacerbated by Hurricane Sandy. 130423-A-ON889-001 (Bennett u2019s Creek dredging) by norfolkdistrict
