# USACE Completes Tillamook Jetty Repairs

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District completed its $55.1 million repair of the Tillamook Bay South Jetty in September 2026; a ribbon-cutting followed on October 8. Prime contractor Trade West Construction placed 6,168 stones weighing approximately 115,000 tons. The project is complete, and the announcement does not identify an open solicitation, but its scale illustrates the materials, marine transport, and heavy civil construction capabilities involved in USACE coastal navigation infrastructure work.

- **Why this matters:** The completed project provides a concrete example of the scale and specialized stone-placement work involved in coastal jetty repairs.
- Companies supplying armor stone, marine transport, or heavy civil construction services can use the project scope to assess the relevance of their capabilities to similar infrastructure work.
- The announcement describes ongoing USACE demand for coastal navigation infrastructure, but does not provide a solicitation, procurement timeline, or upcoming contract opportunity.

### Key Quotes
> The largest stones at the jetty’s ocean-facing tip weigh up to 48 tons, and that’s by design. The type of rock, its size, and how it’s placed all matter when you’re building something that has to stand up to the Pacific year after year.
> — Colter Bennett, project engineer, USACE Portland District

> Completing the Tillamook South Jetty repairs is another investment in the infrastructure that keeps Oregon’s coastal communities connected to the region and the nation.
> — Brendan John “Mac” McEvoy, Portland District commander, USACE
