BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Port Canaveral Beach Re-nourishment Project (1995)
Project Overview In 1995, the Port Canaveral Beach Re-nourishment Project was initiated to address significant erosion and restore the beaches along a 3.5-mile stretch of coastline. This major federal project, valued at $18 million, aimed to revitalize the beaches from Jetty Park at Port Canaveral to south of Cocoa Beach Pier. As the most extensive beach re-nourishment project in the Port Canaveral area, it represented a critical effort to enhance coastal resilience and protect beachfront properties.
Scope of Work
- Beach Restoration: The project involved dredging and placing sand to restore and stabilize 3.5 miles of beaches. The restoration work extended from Port Canaveral’s Jetty Park to an area south of Cocoa Beach Pier.
- Sand Placement: The sand was sourced and transported to the project site to replenish and fortify the eroded beach areas, improving the coastline’s aesthetic quality and functional capacity.
Operational Details
- Timeline and Access: The construction work resulted in temporary restrictions on public access to sections of the beach within approximately 1,000 feet of the active construction zones. These restrictions were in effect for about three to four days at a time, ensuring safety and efficient completion of the restoration activities.
- Construction Impact: The temporary access restrictions were necessary to facilitate safe and effective dredging and sand placement operations while minimizing disruption to the public.
