Lake Shelbyville dredging operations – floating pipeline notice
•January 21, 2026•
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District, is notifying the public of ongoing dredging operations at Lake Shelbyville that will include the installation of a floating dredge pipeline on the lake. The dredge pipeline was originally planned to be submerged; however, due to current winter pool water levels, there is not enough water depth to safely allow watercraft to pass over a submerged line. As a result, the pipeline will remain floating for the duration of this phase of the project.
