Check OCNJ Daily for updates and photos of the progress of work of the Ocean City beach replenishment project for 2015 in the south end of Ocean City between 36th and 59th Streets.
DATE: Wednesday, May 6
PROGRESS: The hopper dredge Liberty Island is still being repaired, and beach replenishment work has been stalled at 44th Street since Saturday. Even though the ship can be seen out a few miles offshore at the borrow area, crews are still trying to repair a sub-line, according to Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Richard Pearsall. On Wednesday, other boats were seen just off the beach in Ocean City, as if they were moving or adjusting the feeder pipeline that lands on the beach just south of 42nd Street.
WHAT’S NEXT: The project will proceed to 49th Street (anticipated to be complete by mid-May), 55th to 49th (mid-May to mid-June), 55th to 59th (mid-June to mid-July).
