White vans owned by the City of Ocean City are being used to shuttle people to an open beach from the area of 52nd Street and 53rd Street in Ocean City, NJ.
Check OCNJ Daily for updates and photos of the Ocean City beach replenishment project for 2015 in the south end between 36th and 59th Streets.
Work on the south end beach replenishment project has reached 52nd Street in Ocean City, NJ.
DATE: Sunday, May 24
PROGRESS: Sand-pumping operations continued at 52nd Street and 53rd Street on Sunday. Access to those beaches is closed. The project is moving towards 51st Street.
Continuing on Memorial Day, the City of Ocean City will operate a free beach shuttle in the area where beach replenishment is taking place. Between 9 a.m. and and 5 p.m., the shuttle will pick up beachgoers on any corner near the area of the beach that is closed and take them and their beach gear to a nearby open beach. Residents or visitors needing this service are advised to flag down the shuttle from any corner near the project area. Users should look for a white City of Ocean City van marked “FREE BEACH SHUTTLE.”
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 52nd Street to St. David’s Place near 47th Street (mid-May to mid-June), then from 55th to 59th (mid-June to mid-July).
