Site Readiness Work

Beginning in early November, 2025, site readiness work for the BPCR Project will commence. “Site Readiness Work” are the initial activities carried out on a project site to ready the site for the main project construction. Activities will include utility relocation, underground assessments, installation of subsurface tide gate infrastructure, and other necessary work to help create the conditions needed for full-scale construction to begin safely in 2026. Site Readiness Work this fall will begin ramping up in intensity & duration as the start of Project construction approaches.
