Long Branch Beach Replenishment Project Finished

LONG BRANCH, NJ — Beach replenishment projects done this fall by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach and Long Branch are now completed, announced U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone.

It was Pallone, (D-NJ6), who helped secure federal funding for the projects. A total of 2.8 million cubic yards of sand was placed on beaches along those three towns.

The work began on October 1 and was completed on November 26.

In Long Branch, sand was placed from South Broadway to Joline, just south of Seven Presidents Park. In Monmouth Beach, sand was placed from Cottage Road and extended slightly into Sea Bright to Garden Way.

In Sea Bright, sand was placed from Tradewinds Lane north to Center Street.

"These projects will go a long way to ensuring our coastline remains resilient and enjoyable for years to come,” Congressman Pallone said. “I would like to thank the Army Corps of Engineers for their hard work and dedication to keeping our Jersey Shore coastal communities safe and enjoyable for residents and tourists alike.”
