Beach Fill Update

UPDATE
BEACH FILL
JUNE 7, 2010
Beach fill operations continue from 87th Street to 77th Street. The Beach fill process is a 24/7 operation.

The sand is conveyed via a pipeline which extends from the dredge in Townsends Inlet to the area of the fill; currently approaching 77th Street. The pipe will eventually extend all the way to 73rd Street; the finish point of the Beach Fill Project. All beaches will remain open during the project with the exception of about four to six blocks in the area of the fill. As the fill moves to the North, the beach behind the fill will be reopened and the beaches in front of the fill will be closed.

Questions regarding the project can be directed to Sea Isle City Assistant Superintendent, Lew Steelman, 609-263-6000 X 14 or email at lsteelman@seaislecitynj.us.

Thank you!
