A
private company will begin building a living shoreline in front of
Millender Park in Eastpoint this month and it will require closing
off a portion of Millender Street for about 4 months.
HG
Harders and Sons out of Panama City has been awarded the contract
with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to build a
1,400-foot-long living shoreline breakwater that runs east and west
adjacent to property owned by the Apalachicola national Estuarine
Research Reserve.
Living
shorelines use rock and shell breakwaters along with natural
vegetation to protect the shoreline from erosion.
The
work will begin the last week of October and continue through the end
of February.
The
company will have to close the southern end of Millender Street from
south of the entrance to the research reserve to the end of Millender
during the construction period.
The
northern portion of Millender from Patton Road to the Research
reserve entrance will be open.
