 Buxton Beach Nourishment:
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. has announced that steady progress was made over the weekend for the beach nourishment project that is currently underway in Buxton.
Nourishment of the southern section of the shoreline—from the landing point located at the south end of Tower Circle to the ocean groin field near the original location of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse—is expected to be completed this evening (Monday, July 11, 2022).
Crews will then disassemble the shore pipes, move the equipment near the landing point, and open the nourished section of the shoreline to the public on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. Pumping will then proceed along the shoreline to the north from the landing point located near Tower Circle.
