Another familiar sight is returning to the recovering beach community of Sea Bright as summer inches closer: the mini-boardwalk.
According to volunteer coordinator Frank Lawrence, the boardwalk, which he described as an” extended deck,” was built in large part by volunteers from the Foundation to Save the Jersey Shore and the New Jersey Firemens Mutual Benevolent Association, who donated their manpower in order to complete the project in just a matter of days.
The new boardwalk, just 171 feet long, replicates the one destroyed during Hurricane Sandy, Lawrence said. We wanted to get the design as close to the original as possible, he added.
