The goal is to address erosion caused by tropical storms Ian and Nicole.
County commissioners voted last month to pursue a new beach renourishment project which now could become even more expensive if Nicole adds to the erosion.– The Army Corps of Engineers will kick off a months-long beach renourishment project at a 10 a.m. news conference in Jacksonville Beach .
The project will cover nearly 10 miles of Atlantic, Neptune and Jacksonville beaches down to the Duval-St. Johns County line.A graphic released by the Army Corps of Engineers shows which sections of the beach will be affected each week during the 16-week project.Week 1 starts between 10th Avenue South and 16th Avenue. Crews will then move south through the third week, to the county line.The project will reach all the way to the Naval base by August.
This is the first major renourishment project for Duval County beaches since 2017 and is 100% federally funded. Crews have already brought in some of the heavy machinery they will use to bring in sand from off shore to fill in weak spots along the coast.The goal is to address erosion caused by tropical storms Ian and Nicole.
We expect to learn more about closures and other impacts when we hear from city leaders at the 10 a.m. news conference.

This comes as the Baltimore District continues working with federal, state and local partners to clear the wreckage of the bridge from the channel. After detailed studies and engineering assessments, USACE officials expect to open a limited access channel that is about 280 feet wide and 35 feet deep within the next four weeks, by the end of April. This channel will support one-way traffic in and out of the Port of Baltimore for container ships as well as some vessels that move vehicles and farm equipment to and from the port.
