Today, October 14, 2016, Harvey Cedars was informed that beach replenishment will begin in the Borough within the next 7 to 10 days.  This project will restore the dunes and replenish 100’ of flat beach from Cumberland Avenue to 78th Street.  Hudson Avenue will be the access point for the contractor, Great Lakes, and the ocean pipeline connection will be at Atlantic.  The Hudson Avenue dune will be leveled for the length of the project for access and will be rebuilt at the end of the project.
 
After mobilization at Hudson, pumping of sand will begin at Atlantic and continue north to 78th Street.  Thereafter, the project will switch south and continue to Cumberland. It is anticipated the contractor will start on October 22nd and will complete the project in approximately 9 days, weather dependent. 
 
On Monday, October 17, Public Works will begin removing all fencing on the beach and walkovers.  Public Works will replace the walkover post & rail fencing (including private walkovers) after the beach project is completed.  Dune fencing will be replaced by Public Works in the spring by May 15th.  Hard pack on walkovers will not be replaced at this point but the hard pack (I5) on the Hudson Avenue drive-over will also be replaced by Public Works after the project.
