Some $19.3 million is being spent on restoring Delaware’s beaches.
And the work could start as early as next week.
There is some 6.6 miles of resort shore line that is set to be replenished by mid-December.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that it will begin with Fenwick Island where dredge anchors are set to start work.
Money from the Superstorm Sandy recovery package should cover the entire cost of the Fenwick effort along with a $6.6 million repair and expansion of a critical stretch of beach next to Delaware Route 1 just north of the Indian River Inlet.
The Fenwick project is expected to take three to four weeks.
