We are excited to begin work on the second periodic renourishment of Fernandina Beach, a week from today, with initial construction is projected to start on 2nd St, next Monday, May 12th!
Construction will likely occur 24/7 until complete, which may include backup alarms, lights, and other noise associated with active construction projects. Sand will be pumped onto the beach from offshore and graded into place by bulldozers and other equipment. Sections of the beach will be closed off while working in approximately 1,000 ft intervals.
To ensure public safety, beach access will be restricted in the active construction zone, but will remain open elsewhere along the beach. Safety personnel will be on site to direct the general public away from potential hazards.
Stay tuned for further updates and progress maps, as we continue to fortify Fernandina Beach!
