The Town of Palm Beach readies its plans for beach renourishment and they will be rolling out various sections over the coming years. Eventually, the projects will include the area south of Sloan's Curve to Phipps Ocean Beach and south of the Lake Worth pier. The city of Lake Worth has denied Palm Beach access before for such activities around our beach. Click title for link.
In its 10-year coastal management plan, the town estimated the project would cost $11.6 million.
The Midtown fill was originally scheduled for last winter, but was delayed in November after a first round of construction bids last year proved too high.
Midtown Beach received its last full nourishment in 2006.
About 850,000 cubic yards of sand will go on the beach between Casa Bendita, in Reach 2, and Banyan Road, at the south end of Reach 4. That includes the badly eroded area along the sea wall along the area from Sunrise Avenue to Wells Road.
Another 130,000 cubic yards of sand will be hauled by truck and placed on the beach, above the high-tide line, between Sloan’s Curve and Phipps Ocean Park, and south of the Lake Worth Pier.
