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.
Crews are pumping new sand onto 53rd Street Beach on Wednesday, May 20.
DATE: Wednesday, May 20
PROGRESS: Sand-pumping operations reached 53rd Street on Wednesday, and the beach is closed just south of 52nd Street with access blocked at 53rd and 54th streets. Bulldozers are reshaping the sand berm created by the city in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy to create an entirely new dune structure.
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).
