Geotechnical analysis needed for replacement of century-old bridge and lifeguard headquarters
Four drill rigs will be placed at the base of the Oceanside pier later this month to conduct geotechnical borings in preparation for the replacement of the Pier View Way Bridge and lifeguard headquarters.
The steel-reinforced concrete bridge, completed in 1927, crosses The Strand to connect the wooden pier to Pacific Street atop the nearby bluff. “The drilling operation is expected to produce noise and potential dust,” Gorman Brown said. “However, best management practices will be in place to minimize those temporary impacts to the extent feasible.”
The concrete approach ramp was built long before the wooden portion of the nearly 2,000-foot-long pier. The wooden part of structure is the sixth version, built in 1986 to replace a previous one destroyed by storms. City officials have said they plan to rebuild the end of the pier, but so far no date has been set and there’s no money for construction. Repairs are expected to cost about $17 million.
