Ryba Marine Construction has been working a dredging project the Saginaw River for the past month with two dredges working at two locations. The project extends from Liberty Bridge, downriver to Saginaw Bay. These photos show the tug Thomas R. Morrish working the site near Liberty Bridge. The tug will move the crane barge when necessary and move mud scows back and forth from the dredge site to the Confined Disposal Facility at Channel Island to be unloaded and returned.
