The Army Corps of Engineers are now on the verge of completing an erosion reduction plan for the Indian River Inlet bridge that they drew up more than 40 years ago.
The project is being financed through the Sandy relief bill that includes funding for the original design after damage done by the storm.
It will involve construction of a huge dune along the coastal highway bridge.
The plan is to pump 500-thousand cubic yards of sand to build a dune averaging 16 feet high allowing for, at least, a 50 foot wide beach.
This would provide for more storm protection similar to the beaches at Rehoboth, Dewey and Bethany.
