PROGRESS: As of 3:30 p.m. Friday, the edge of the advancing beach replenishment project was just south of the 49th Street beach entrance. The beach remained closed at 50th Street and 51st Street.

Work on the project resumed Thursday (Aug. 13) after an 11-week delay for dredge repairs. The beaches between 37th Street and 47th Street are complete, as are the beaches between 55th Street and 51st Street.

WHAT’S NEXT: The project will proceed from 51st Street to 47th Street, then the project area will move to 55th to 59th and be complete by the end of September.
