2023 Beach Restoration Project Timeline

Updated November 8^th

Dredging and beach fill operations commenced on October 30^th, 2023 along the 900 block of West Beach Boulevard (WBB) in Gulf Shores.

This schedule is highly weather dependent and subject to change. These dates will change slightly and will be updated throughout construction with actual progress data. The dates listed are based upon an expected conservative daily production rate.

NOTE that multiple pipe landings will be in place at any given time, and sand placement may occur in limited quantities at adjacent pipe landings throughout this schedule, in order to facilitate continuing high production and progress.  Also, beach tilling operations will follow the beach fill work shortly after the fill operations are completed in each segment.
