We’re providing notice of upcoming construction activities that may cause public interference:

1. Pipeline launch – We will be transporting the second dredge pipeline segments down the slope from the assembly location and placing them in the water.  Pipe sections will cross the pedestrian path at that location during brief intervals. We estimate approximately 1 hour to move and launch each section. We expect to move five sections in total at this time.

Pipeline sections will then be transported up the beach along the breakwater and assembled where the pedestrian trail meets Hwy 1. The pipeline will be  pulled down the slope and transported along the beach at low tide, and then lifted into position at the top of the rip rap slope. This operation is now scheduled to begin on 8/18 and complete by 8/22. Our crews will work with pedestrians and cyclists to allow limited passage during operations as it is safe to do so.

Secondary Pipeline Re-route – The existing pipeline will also be re-routed upon completion of the in-harbor disposal of dredge material. This will entail retracking the pipeline from across the harbor and installing it up along the breakwater. From there it will continue along the pedestrian path along the beach to the access ramp, where it will descend to the beach. This work is expected to occur between August 19 and August 22.

2. Construction of Ramp to Beach – We will be constructing a ramp from the top of the shoreline slope along Surfers Beach in order to allow equipment to be transported to and from the beach. This work will take place just east of the stairway. Pedestrian traffic will be interrupted, but foot and bicycle traffic will be able to flow around the work by moving into the shoulder of Hwy 1.  This operation is now scheduled to begin on 8/15 and complete by 8/19. Our crews will work with pedestrians and cyclists to allow limited passage during operations as it is safe to do so.

Again, due to ongoing operations, this schedule is subject to change on a day-by-day basis
