The Port of San Diego has approved structural upgrades to the southernmost pier in California. Last week, commissioners issued a $1.5 million construction contract to Pomona-based Reyes Construction, Inc. for the 60-year-old Imperial Beach pier, which the agency owns and the city maintains. The project aims to “enhance the safety, functionality, and longevity of the pier’s infrastructure,” the agency said in a news release.
