OCEAN DRIVE and its planned reconstruction will be discussed at an informational meeting hosted by the Avalon Home and Land Owners Association and the Borough of Avalon this Saturday, at 9am. A section of the road from 29th Street to 62nd Street will receive new sewer service, followed by a reconstruction of the roadway. A portion of the roadway will be elevated with new drainage added, to help alleviate nuisance flooding caused by rain. Work is expected to begin in March 2017, then break for the summer season. It will resume in September 2017 until completion. Homeowners and the public are invited to attend the informational meeting, which will be held at the Avalon Community Center.
BRIDGE INSPECTIONS began earlier this week on the Avalon Boulevard Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. Several additional bridges will be inspected over the next couple of weeks, including Sea Isle Boulevard, 96th Street Bridge, and Ocean Drive over Great Channel just south of Stone Harbor. Lane closings will occur as each bridge is inspected; expect minor delays if traversing a bridge while an inspection is taking place.

STONE HARBOR BACK BAY DREDGING: An update on Stone Harbor’s back bay dredging plan has been posted to the Borough’s website. Instead of hydraulic dredging, which led to problems dewatering dredge material at the 81st Street Municipal Marina last year, mechanical dredging will be used moving forward. A backhoe on a barge will excavate dredge material, which will be transported to the marina site and eventually mixed with Portland cement, before being hauled away.

IF YOU’VE DRIVEN NORTH on Ocean Drive through Sea Isle City in the past, you’ve probably taken note of the site used to test paint and other coatings in the seaside environment. Ocean City Research has operated the site for many years, but it will not be renewing its lease. Sea Isle City is currently exploring other possible uses for the site. For details, see this Atlantic City Press article: http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/business/sea-isle-paint-test-site-removed-city-seeks-lessee/article_fdcb337e-76fd-11e6-9ff3-1f6347374164.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=user-share
