The St. Paul District of the Army Corps of Engineers awarded Brennan Marine a $9.1 million contract to move 325,000 cubic yards of sand near Wabasha, Minnesota. The work begins next spring and will take two years.
It will keep the Mississippi River 9-foot navigation channel maintained.
Routine channel maintenance supports navigation on the upper Mississippi, so it has little direct effect on grain or feed prices. It is a minor logistics item for barge operators.
