October Sunset Beach Restoration Update

State Planners report that the Sunset Beach restoration work is going well! Current scheduling is as follows – subject to change with unexpected circumstances:

• The in-water work will be complete by early October.
• Most of the gravel material has been placed in the water and should complete late September/early October.
• The contractors are now working on installing the ADA ramp to allow people with disabilities to get into the water to go swimming.
• Remaining work includes:
  • Installing a drainage system under the beach sand
  • Concrete work in front of the bathhouse with seatwalls, benches, and planting areas
  • Installing a sandbox area for kids to play
  • Possibly adding more beach sand
  • Finishing work on the mitigation plantings

We are therefore looking at substantial completion by early December and final completion early January 2017.
