Having completed demolition of the old north jetty pier, crews expect to begin installing the new seawall during the week of January 13. 

The project contractor, Shoreline Foundation, Inc. (SFI), is making the following improvements to the jetty:  190 linear feet of new revetment structure, installation of four-foot diameter granite boulders, a steel sheet pile seawall and a concrete sidewalk deck along portions of the jetty damaged by storms.

The project could require up to seven months to complete (completion targeted for July). Public access to the north jetty is unavailable as this is  a fenced-off  "hard hat" construction site.  The jetty improvements are part of the District’s responsibility to maintain inlet infrastructure, navigation, and enhance public safety.

Also, the webcam is unavailable until the project is complete. 

Note: The project is located within Sebastian Inlet State Park, but the Sebastian Inlet District is the responsible entity.  

Stay tuned for updates.
