The repairs are part of a $12 million beach renourishment project to replenish sand along a 3.7-mile stretch between Wabasso Beach and the Seaview subdivision. Work began in January at Golden Sands Beach Park, just north of Wabasso.
Because of high tides and the amount of sand needed for the Wabasso Beach portion of the project, the contractor decided to bring sand from the north side of Golden Sands, county spokeswoman Kathleen Keenan said. Golden Sands, which closed in January, is to remain inaccessible to the public through April while work is done.
Wabasso Beach, originally scheduled to close last month for the repairs, will close in a few weeks once the new sand is brought in, Keenan said.
