The beach is high and wide at 54th Street on Tuesday, May 19, as the south end beach replenishment project continues in Ocean City, NJ.
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 19
PROGRESS: Sand-pumping operations continued at 54th Street on Tuesday, and it's clear that the narrower beaches at that part of the island will receive more sand than some of the healthier beaches at the north end of the project area did. Crews have been working at 55th and 54th streets for more than a week. Bulldozers are reshaping the sand berm created by the city in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy to create an entirely new dune structure. Access to the beach is closed at 54th Street.
The first two phases of the project (from 42nd Street to 37th Street, then from 42nd Street to St. David's Place) are complete.
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).
