Tackling freight mobility challenges at Port of Coos Bay

A maintenance dredging project in the Coos Bay harbor from River Miles twelve to fifteen, aimed to remove approximately 1,000,000 cubic yards of material from these areas, is currently underway.

Dredging in this section of the Federal Navigation Channel was also conducted throughout the summer of 2019. This area of the Upper Bay spans from the Oregon Chip Terminal to the Georgia Pacific Sawmill site. 

Prior to the dredging work that took place in 2019, this channel had not been dredged since 2010.
