The County is shutting down the
Eastpoint fishing pier until it can repair some of the damage caused
by hurricane Michael.
County parks director Fonda Davis
recommended the closure because of the liability concern.
He said he is afraid that someone will
go to the pier at night and drive off the edge where the safety rail
was damaged.
There is also some erosion making the
public restrooms inaccessible and dangerous to approach.
Fonda said the damage will cost about
55 thousand dollars to fix.
The work will have to be bid out so it
could be months before the repairs are done.
The fishing pier was created in 2004
after construction of the new bridge to St. George Island was
completed.
The piers did come about one and a half
million dollars to cover upkeep and other expenses.
