The wharf reopened to visitors and merchants less than two weeks after a dangerous storm's crashing waves collapsed more than 100 feet of the pier into the ocean.
The Santa Cruz Wharf reopened to visitors and businesses on Saturday, less than two weeks after crashing waves from a powerful storm collapsed more than 100 feet of the pier into the ocean. 'Let the community know, let the people all over Northern California know, it is safe to come to our wharf,' Mayor Fred Keeley said during a weekend reopening ceremony.
Three construction workers serving as project managers and leads for the work fell into the ocean when the wharf collapsed. Two were rescued by lifeguards and one climbed out, city officials said. Video posted on social media showed part of the pier floating in the water. The city immediately closed the wharf.
