With the new sheet pile seawall in place, crews are building the framework for the new concrete skirt wall at Sebastian Inlet's north jetty.

The project contractor, Shoreline Foundation, Inc. (SFI), is installing  190 linear feet of new revetment structure, four-foot diameter granite boulders, a steel sheet pile seawall and a concrete sidewalk deck along portions of the jetty damaged by storms. Collectively, the upgrades are called the North Jetty Revetment Improvements Project. 

The project could require up to six months to complete (completion is 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.
