Wharf and Boat Ramp Construction, Breakwater Reshaping and Dredging at North Head SCH, Grand Manan Island, NB

The proposed project includes the construction of a new marginal wharf and service area, new concrete boat ramp, repair to the existing breakwater, and dredging to expand the basin area at the North Head Small Craft Harbour. The proposed upgrades are meant to provide safe operation at the facility as the existing T-wharf is currently in poor state and subjected to loading restrictions. Construction is expected to take place in 2027 and 2028.
