Weeks Marine and USACE have officially finished dredging and pumping sand in Flagler County, Florida.
Flagler County officials yesterday notified residents that there will be a brief closure of State Road A1A on or around August 30 during the early morning hours – depending on the weather – from just north of State Road 100 to South 6th Street. The closure is only expected to be in effect two to four hours and a detour will be in place.
The closure is necessary for public safety as equipment for the Army Corps of Engineers beach nourishment project is moved and prepared for demobilization.
“ The equipment needs to be moved back around the Pier to its south as they have officially finished dredging and pumping sand ,” said County Coastal Engineering Administrator Ansley Wren-Key . “ The Army Corps and Weeks Marine did a great job for us .”
The next steps include installing sand fencing, planting the dunes, and placing protective rope barriers.
