Photo Update: Bridging the Gap in Boardwalk Reconstruction

  • Things To Do
Pilings and joists are in place across about a third of the project area between Sixth and Seventh streets in Ocean City, NJ, where the boardwalk will be completely replaced. A project to replace the boardwalk from Sixth Street to Plaza Place (just north of Seventh Street) continues to make good progress.

Boardwalk pedestrians and cyclists are awaiting the return of an uninterrupted round-trip on the 2.45-mile boardwalk.

Runners, cyclists and pedestrians are being detoured off the boardwalk during the project. Read more:
