Work
is expected to begin in the next few weeks to replace the boat ramp on Old
Ferry Dock Road.
HG
Harders and Sons will do the work at a cost of just over a million dollars.
They
will begin the work once Duke Energy removes a power pole from the site, which
they are expected to complete by the end of this month.
The ramp was last renovated in
1985 and it’s showing signs of age.
The project consists of removing
the existing boat ramp and concrete sheet pile wall and replacing them with a
steel sheet pile wall, two 20-foot-wide boat ramps and a fixed timber dock.
There will also be some needed
improvements to the access road to the Ramp.
This project has been a long time
coming.
The design phase of the project
was approved in 2018, but the final permits and design were only approved by Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Army Corp of engineers in
2022.
The money for construction only
became available late last year.
