READY FOR SUMMER? 🏖 Repairs on the Jax Beach Pier started in 2016 after it was severely damaged by Hurricane Matthew and the following year by Hurricane Irma. Nearly six years later, the project is almost complete.
Construction repairs on the pier started in 2016 after it was severely damaged by Hurricane Matthew and the following year by Hurricane Irma.
Nearly six years after that initial blow, the rebuild project, which ran into some delays, is almost complete.“We had trouble getting environmental permits and then COVID came along and slowed everything down, but we got right back on track,” Diamond said. A two-year, almost $10 million renovation plan started in 2019 but quickly hit a roadblock in 2020 when the federal government was slow in getting the city permits.“Man, it was really rough for the fishermen,” Cain said. “The best thing I’ve heard -- because I’ve been wanting to go fishing on the pier since it’s been closed … since the storm tore it up.”“It just looks awful right now,” new Jacksonville Beach resident Bre White-Lambert said. “So to see it open and nice will be awesome.
Diamond also said that the fence currently at the pier will be taken out so people who visit can just walk out onto the pier and the $1 fee to access the pier will end.
