Beach Re-Nourish Project to affect part of Carolina Beach

CAROLINA BEACH, NC  (WWAY) – Town officials are preparing for an upcoming beach project managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Officials say beginning December 14th, the Town will close the beach access and public parking lot at the end of Ocean Blvd for approximately 6 weeks so Marinex Construction, Inc. can set up equipment and stage piping for the Beach Re-Nourishment Project.  They say Marinex will install pipes running from Ocean Blvd. in Carolina Beach south to Kure Beach.

The pipes are expected to be on the beach until the end of the project in mid-February.  Town officials want beach patrons to use caution in these areas and stay out of all areas that are fenced off due to construction.
