The contractor now estimates that sand-pumping operations will begin approximately July 12 or July 13. Mobilization and placement of equipment will take place in the weeks prior to that date, but no work will take place during the Fourth of July holiday weekend. A subline from an offshore hydraulic dredge will land on the beach near St. Charles Place. In the first stage, work will proceed southward toward 12th Street. When that is complete (within an estimated 27 days), work will move northward toward Great Egg Harbor Inlet (about 24 days). Approximately 1,000 feet of beach (two blocks) surrounding the immediate work area will be closed to public access at any time. Weather permitting, sand-pumping operations will continue 24 hours a day for the duration of the project. Beachfront parking along Beach Road will be restricted to accommodate construction vehicles.
