This Week’s Progress (Nov. 15-21)

Marinex Construction deposited over 158,000 cubic yards of sand onto the beach along Port Royal Sound, bringing the total sand placement in this area to more than 291,000 cubic yards thus far.

Cape Romain Contractors worked on the breakwater structures at Pine Island Beach, a project that will take several months to complete.

Looking Ahead (Nov. 22-28)

Marinex Construction will continue pumping sand onto the beach along the Port Royal Sound. The crew will work through the Thanksgiving holiday.

Cape Romain Contractors will continue working on the breakwater structures at Pine Island Beach. Pine Island Beach remains closed during this phase.

Please be mindful of the following:

• Portions of Islanders' Beach Park will be closed to vehicular traffic and parking from now through the duration of the beach renourishment project. The public is advised to observe and follow all posted caution signs during the work period.
   
• Only those residents whose vehicles are registered with a Town-issued beach parking permits are authorized to park in the remaining available, non-metered spaces.
   
• Alternative nearby beach access and parking is available at Folly Field and Driessen Beach parks, and the Burkes Beach Road access.
