Île Aurore dredging operations to resume 24-hour schedule

Dredging operations for the Île Aurore Land Reclamation Project resumed their normal 24-hour schedule last night.

The government has confirmed that dredging is now taking place farther offshore, with noise monitoring indicating that readings are well within acceptable levels.

The return to round-the-clock operations is expected to help keep the project on schedule for completion.

The project’s environmental officer will continue monitoring noise levels throughout the reclamation works to minimise any disruption to nearby communities.

The government has thanked residents of Île Persévérance for their patience and understanding during the temporary adjustment to the dredging schedule.
