Caddo Parish Parks and Recreation has provided an update on planned dredging work at the Earl G. Williamson boat launch, according to District 1 Commissioner Chris Kracman.

Parks and Recreation Director Patrick Wesley said the parish will begin receiving contractor quotes in June and July. After selecting a contractor, officials will confirm a work schedule, with dredging potentially beginning in late August or early September.

Officials noted that late summer is typically chosen for the project because water levels at Caddo Lake are at their lowest near the ramp, allowing for easier access for contractors. The dredging process is expected to take about two weeks, depending on weather conditions.
