Crews begin to physically remove barge from Packery Channel after six months

Work had been delayed because of high winds this week, but it looks like the barge will finally come out of the water Friday night.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Work to remove the barge that has been stuck at Packery Channel for nearly six months began Friday.

The barge has been a fixture there since September, when Hurricane Ian created rough conditions that partially submerged it along the jetty rocks.
