Crowds on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend sit next to the edge of the south end beach replenishment project area just north of 58th Street on late Saturday afternoon, Sept. 5.
Check OCNJ Daily for updates and photos of the Ocean City beach replenishment project for 2015 in the south end between 37th and 59th Streets.
DATE: Saturday, Sept. 5
The thin beach at 58th Street — one of the last on schedule to be rebuilt — holds big crowds at high tide on Saturday, Sept. 5.
PROGRESS: As of Saturday at 4 p.m., the advancing edge of the project area remained just north of the 58th Street beach entrance walkway. The beach entrance at 57th Street was closed, and beachgoers were able to sideskirt the project area to get onto the beach just north of the 56th Street beach entrance.
The project is advancing quickly toward the 59th Street finish line.
Beaches between 37th Street and 55th Street are now complete, and the pipeline feeding that part of the project has been removed.
WHAT’S NEXT: Work
will continue in the area between 55th Street and 59th Street in the final phase of the project. Sand-pumping is expected to be complete within another week or two. Dune crossover work will follow. And the planting of dune grass is scheduled for November.
