A month and a half after demolition began, a block of the Ocean City Boardwalk is gone.
A project to replace the boardwalk from Sixth Street to Plaza Place (just north of Seventh Street) appears to be moving quickly.
The boardwalk is barricaded at Fifth Street and Seventh Street as the second phase of a multi-year project to rebuild the boardwalk and its substructure between Fifth and 12th streets continues.
The project will proceed through the winter with the driving of new pilings and the replacement of the decking in sections that are being constructed off-site. Work is expected to be complete by Easter Weekend (April 4 and 5) at the latest.
A buried section of jetty at Fifth Street provided a temporary obstacle to the first phase of the boardwalk replacement project last year. The current project area stops shy of the Seventh Street jetty, and the demolition work went unhindered.
