Beach replenishment work gets a foothold at 55th Street by late on Tuesday, May 12.
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: Tuesday, May 12
PROGRESS: Work on the second phase of the south end beach replenishment project is now complete at St. David’s Place (between 47th and 48th streets). Operations have shifted to a feeder pipeline at 55th Street, and by dusk on Tuesday, an accumulation of new sand surrounded the pipeline. From there, sand-pumping will progress northward to where the project left off at St. David's. The second phase had originally been announced as 42nd Street to 49th Street. Crews on Tuesday were removing sections of pipeline from the beach between 42nd Street and 47th Street.
WHAT’S NEXT: The project will proceed from 55th Street to St. David's Place (mid-May to mid-June), then from 55th to 59th (mid-June to mid-July). These southern blocks will require more work to rebuild and repair dunes.
