Replacement of the Grassy Sound fishing pier, on what is left of the old Grassy Sound bridge from Middle Township to North Wildwood, is expected to be completed by May or June.
The pier has been closed due to structural concerns. In 2023 the Cape May County commissioners approved replacement of the pier, which has been a popular fishing and crabbing location for generations, with new timber.
The project will also include replacing the existing bulkhead and improvements to lighting, aesthetics and parking.
When the project is complete Middle Township will provide routine maintenance and service at the pier. The county-owned facility will continue to provide free access for fishing and crabbing.
