The final push to complete a boardwalk reconstruction project between Sixth and Seventh streets is continuing, and on Wednesday all lampposts along the stretch were reinstalled.
Runners, walkers and cyclists are anxious for the completion of the work and the restoration of the full length of the boardwalk. They have been detoured for two blocks (between Fifth and Seventh streets) since October.
