The 150-foot Dreddge Currituck is scheduled to arrive Friday in Ocean City to begin dredging the channel through the inlet this weekend, the Army Corps of Engineers said Thursday.
The Currituck, an Army Corps hobber dredge based in Wilmington, N.C., is designed to work in shallow-draft ocean bar channels along the Atlantic coast.
It will remove up to 8,000 cubic yards of material from the Ocean City Inlet in a $120,000 project scheduled to start Saturday and end Thursday, July 21. The work should improve navigation conditions in the federal channel, the Army Corps said.

I wonder if they will find any old railroad tracks or old cars from when the storm cut the inlet.
Has it been dredged since then? One would think so. 81? years after all.
