Restrictions Lifted as Dredge Cuts New Channel at Oregon Inlet Article courtesy: outerbanksvoice.com | By Rob Morris originally published on April 30, 2015

The Coast Guard lifted all restrictions Thursday in a regulated navigation area at Oregon Inlet that was established to protect the Bonner Bridge.

An area within 100 feet the bridge had been limited to vessels with drafts of 5 feet or less because of shoaling in the main navigation channel and other routes that boats were taking.

Earlier this year, the restriction applied to boats drawing more than 2 feet of water.

A survey taken by the Corps showed a channel about 8 to 10 feet deep. The dredge Currituck continues to work 24 hours a day to enlarge the cut.
