Equipment- Avalon Beach Fill

Monday- 11am.  An active staging area by the 8th Street jetty in preparation of the north end beach fill.  Currently, beach and jetty access is open on 8th Street, and a lifeguard is stationed on 9th Street.

The only pipe in place is the one over the jetty.  Pipes will be installed and run parallel along the beach to carry sand once the dredge arrives from Strathmere.

As the project proceeds south from 9th Street, the beaches on either side will be closed for safety reasons.  Once the new sand is graded, beaches will re-open.  Access paths over the pipe will be built (with sand).
