Check OCNJ Daily for updates and photos of the Ocean City beach replenishment project for 2015 in the south end between 37th and 59th Streets.
DATE: Sunday, August 30
PROGRESS: As of Sunday at dusk, the beaches at 55th Street and 56th Street are close as the south end beach replenishment project moves into its final phase.
Beaches between 37th Street and 54th Street are now complete, and the pipeline feeding that part of the project has been removed. Some equipment remained in a small cordoned-off area on the beach at 48th Street.
About 907,000 cubic yards (62 percent of the total project) have been placed on Ocean City beaches so far.
WHAT’S NEXT: Another 550,000 cubic yards (the other 38 percent) will be reserved for the area between 55th Street and 59th Street alone. That work is expected to include about 22 days of sand-pumping, which would push the completion of the project into mid- to late-September. Dune crossover work would follow. And the planting of dune grass is scheduled for November.
