Dredge projects to bring disruption to North End

What of Buffy's tea parties? Will the work rattle the fine china? Click title for link to a Shiny Sheet article on dredging that will occur during this coming season in Palm Beach.
North End residents might have to put up with additional noise and lighting issues this winter from dredge contractors setting up in the Lake Worth Lagoon.
Council members waived construction dates, hours and noise levels for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractors and the town’s contractor for the Midtown Beach nourishment project to stage in the Intracoastal Waterway this season.
The Corps awarded a contract to Marinex Construction Inc. to perform beach nourishment projects for several locations in Palm Beach County. . Work is scheduled to begin around Nov. 1 and continue through Feb. 20. Contractors will stage in the Intracoastal Waterway south of Peanut Island and the Port of Palm Beach’s turning basin, about 1,800 feet from the town’s lagoon-front shoreline.
