LOADING AN EXCAVATOR

LOADING AN EXCAVATOR on a barge to dig out the fill in the Eastport breakwater, a portion of which collapsed in December, is a crew from contractor CPM Constructors. Work on the $14.95 million rebuilding project is now proceeding and is expected to take up to two years. The breakwater is now closed to boats, except that boat owners may still use the boat ramp at the entrance to the breakwater. (Edward French photo)
