DATE: Friday, May 1
PROGRESS: The first phase of the project is complete, according to an update from Mayor Jay Gillian, with the work stopping at a point just north of 37th Street. A mound of sand waits there for distribution across the beach. Work is now starting from 42nd Street southward toward 49th Street with beaches closed at 43rd Street and 44th Street.
The completed beaches are wide and elevated, and sand ramps allow beachgoers to cross over a pipeline that now stretches down the beach to the work area. Work can be viewed daily from the top of the beach at all blocks.
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).
