Stone Harbor Beach Fill Completed

Posted July 31st 2023

On the morning of July 17, the Stone Harbor beach fill operation was completed. Pipes were cleaned to be disassembled for removal, which began on the south side and moved north. Beaches remained accessible to the public as the demobilization took place after beach hours. The beach fill operation began in early June by the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation. The pipes were removed from the beach on July 19. The pipes from 115th to 119th Street were removed last, as they were cut down. The 123rd Street beach and parking lot remained closed for the demobilization of pipes, supplies, and equipment. The removal of equipment began July 20. Said Stone Harbor Mayor Judith Davies-Dunhour: “Now that the beach nourishment project is complete, our residents and visitors are enjoying beautiful and enhanced beaches that offer valuable protection to our coastline. The restored beaches provide a better beach experience, but most importantly they build up the dunes to safeguard inland public and private infrastructure, including houses and roads. “Although weather and equipment maintenance caused some delays in the timing of the project, we understand the impact on vacationers and homeowners and sincerely thank them for their patience and support in making this project possible.”
