City Dock Update August 25, 2026

The City of Annapolis held a City Dock Update meeting on August 25, 2026, focusing on the ongoing $90 million infrastructure project aimed at mitigating tidal and storm water flooding in the historic downtown area. Key procurement-related updates included confirmation that the project remains under budget and fully funded, with the primary contractor being Whiting Turner. The project is slightly ahead of schedule, with major construction phases expected to conclude by July 2027 and full completion by spring or summer 2028. Measures to support local businesses during construction were discussed, including increased advertising, adjusted shuttle routes, added loading zones, and parking modifications. The city also highlighted environmental compliance efforts, such as sediment filters mandated by the Maryland Department of the Environment and pump operations to manage stormwater. Future plans include reducing construction footprint and minimizing street closures in phase two to lessen disruption. No new contract awards or procurement actions were announced, but the meeting emphasized ongoing collaboration with contractors and stakeholders to ensure project success and community support.
