More than 25 acres added to shoreline in first phase of two-city federal project now moving to Moonlight Beach
A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sand replenishment project has finished in Solana Beach and is gearing up to start widening the shoreline in Encinitas. Equipment is being assembled at Moonlight Beach, and sand distribution there will begin this weekend, said Daniel Heyenbruch, a civil engineer with the agency. Completion will take four to six weeks. 'There will be some sections of the beach open and other spots will be closed' during the work, Heyenbruch said Thursday.
Last week the company completed the delivery of 700,000 cubic yards of sand at Fletcher Cove, widening the beach there by about 150 feet. In all, Manson added about 25 acres of beach stretching almost a mile-and-a-half from the Tide Park stairs to the southern city limits at Del Mar, according to Solana Beach officials. 'It went really well,' Heyenbruch said.
