The Long Beach barrier island beach rebuilding process is finally about to begin and take several years. They are starting in Point Lookout and Lido before moving west into Long Beach.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin work later this month on building jetties and offshore coastal storm protection for Long Beach and the barrier island from Jones Inlet to Atlantic Beach.

 

The corps plans to start work this month in Point Lookout and Lido Beach and move west toward Long Beach next year by adding sand and jetties across 35,000 linear feet from Point Lookout to the western boundary of Long Beach at Nevada Avenue. The plan also calls to taper the end of the project into East Atlantic Beach.

 

The first $38 million phase of the project was awarded to Bay Shore-based H&L Construction, which will complete all groin construction in two years. Contractors plan to haul 250,000 tons of stone from New Jersey across the Atlantic Beach Bridge Monday through Friday.

The second contract is scheduled to be awarded by November 2017 to add 4.7 million cubic yards of sand, dune crossings and dune grass.

Finally-it's way overdue. Hopefully the work needed on the Reynolds Channel side comes soon too. That's where the flooding comes from now anyway.

My wife and I got married on Sunday in Port Jefferson Long Island. Unfortunately her father died Friday morning so it was rough but we couldn't have asked for a better sunset.

Anyone know how to view radar shots from earlier in the day?

I would like to see the radar from 5 am when that rain moved through. thanks.

Can't do it for OKX because their radar frames are like 1 minute or something so it doesn't go go far back enough to capture the rain late at night.
