Just in time for the 4th of July weekend crews are now demobilizing equipment after spending the last month pumping sand onto the rapidly eroding beach.

North Wildwood has been hit hard by bad storms. The coastal erosion has left behind large cliffs in some spots and wiped away parts of the beach in other places.

Project was conducted by H&L Contracting and Great Lakes Dredge and Dock (GLDD), the contractor and sub-contractor for NJDOT.

A more permanent Army Corps of Engineers project is still slated for 2025.
