Buxton Beach Nourishment Update – February 28, 2018

Weeks Marine pumped the final load of sand at the northern end of the nourishment project on Tuesday afternoon, February 27. All 2.6 million cubic yards of sand have now been placed along the stretch of beach that runs 2.9 miles from the “haulover” north of Buxton to the oceanfront groin at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

Over the next two weeks, the new sand will be graded and all equipment removed. The updated project map shows the small area of beach that will remain closed during demobilization.

Updates regarding sand fencing and sprigging will be forthcoming, as additional information is available.
