CAPE MAY- A week after Hurricane Sandy sent ocean water onto Beach Avenue at Poverty Beach, a crew was removing six-foot high mounds of sand from the roadway.
City Manager Bruce MacLeod said the city and county were working together at Beach and Wilmington avenues to resolve the problem. Most of Beach Avenue is owned by the county, he said.
The county awarded a contract for sand removal to Albrecht and Heun. Work began Nov. 5 and was expected to be completed by Nov. 10, said McLeod.
An excavator, a small dozer and two loaders were scraping sand off the road and placing it back on the beach.
“The sand starts at a low point near Brooklyn Avenue at about 3 inches in depth and escalates in depth to where it is about six and a half to 7 feet near the corner of Beach and Wilmington,” said MacLeod.
With the exception of one block, Beach Avenue is open for the length of Cape May’s beachfront.
