BEACH RENOURISHMENT PROJECT TO BEGIN DECEMBER 17

 

The US Army Corps of Engineers Wrightsville Beach Coastal Storm Risk Management Project is scheduled to begin on Sunday, December 17. The project includes the placement of $1M cubic yards of sand on the beach from just south of the Blockade Runner Resort (Seashore Street) to just north of the Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach (Access #8). The project completion date is yet to be determined but likely sometime between March and April, 2024.


Marinex Construction Company, Inc. is the contractor handling the project that includes the placement of dredge pipes that will extend from Masonboro Inlet being placed off-shore and returning on-shore near Seashore Street. The project will be constructed from south to north. Click here for further project details.
