July 14, 2026: The underwater subline from the offshore borrow area remains under repair on Tuesday. Beaches covering a work area from the First Street jetty to the Third Street jetty are closed on Tuesday (July 14). These include the guarded beaches at St. Charles Place and Pennlyn Place.

Guarded beaches north of the First Street jetty (Stenton, North Street) and south of the Third Street jetty (Park Place, Brighton) will be open to swimmers during this first phase of work.

Sand-pumping will resume after repairs are completed. The work area is expected to be the same for Wednesday (July 15) and will move next to the beaches including Park Place, Fourth Street and Brighton Place.

With initial mobilization now complete, the Morningside Road dune crossover and Beach Road have been reopened.

In the first stage, work will proceed southward toward 12th Street. When that is complete, work will move northward toward Great Egg Harbor Inlet. Approximately 1,000 feet of beach (two blocks) surrounding the immediate work area will be closed to public access at any time. Sand-pumping operations will continue 24 hours a day for the duration of the project.

All projected timelines are subject to weather delays, equipment and logistics issues, and multiple other factors. Please check back regularly for updates.
