6/16/23 – “Update on Beach Nourishment for South Bethany

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Weeks Marine provided us with the newest schedule for South Bethany’s beach nourishment project. Crews will lay the subline today (weather permitting) around S. 4th Street, for an estimated start date of June 17 to June 19. Sand will be pumped from north to south. At this time, the estimated end date for the project is July 9 to July 11. The project will shut down for the 4th of July holiday from the evening of June 30 to the morning of July 5. Approximately 800′-1000’ of the beach will remain closed off while shut down for the holiday, but it will not be an active construction zone. Crossovers will be built and fencing installed after beach replenishment is complete. Dune grass will be planted in the fall. Dates are subject to change due to weather conditions or equipment problems. –Mayor Saxton & Town Council”
