Thames Tideway: River bed is dredged to allow barges navigate
In London's 25km long "super sewer" Thames Tideway tunnel project, dredging the river bed at Deptford Creek has begun. The idea is to make it deep enough, so that the barges carrying TBM excavated ground can operate.
If you are interested in Thames Tideway project; you might find the following free online event interesting:

Registration seems to be required to be able to watch the conference, as it is mostly the case with such events.
It is interesting in the sense that they need to get so many marine environment permits for the Tideway tunnel.
