Shore Road Closure Magnolia Pier rebuild

Talked to an engineer the other day with regard to the crane on Shore Road to build the Magnolia Pier.  The workers have been very polite and considerate of the neighbors and walkers.  He informed me that the crane can reach over 200 feet.  He also stated that most likely it will take about two more weeks with the crane.

This is one large crane

Ricky is 6 feet but standing next to the crane give a prospective of the size of this piece of machinery.  The pier is coming along.

Update on the Magnolia Pier

The crane at the Magnolia Pier is so big, the road is closed.  The workers were drilling down some pilings today and you can see the dust coming from the pilings.  Very exciting.

Magnolia Pier

Different perspective on the Magnolia Pier design.  It almost looks like the Crusader crosses on their vest.  It was cloudy so the sky and ocean looked silver.

 

My favorite gift from my favorite guy, thanks Ricky

Love this art by handmade by local artist Vionette Vee Chipperini.

Stormy Monday

A couple of photos from Monday as it was blowing, high tides, and rain.  You can see from the Magnolia Pier photo that making the pier 2 feet higher it will protect our beloved pier.  The waves off Kettle Island were very impressive.

Rough waters on Monday, The Magnolia Pier looks great

On Monday about 2 hours before high tide, went by the Magnolia Pier.  You can see how sturdy the pier is built and being 2 feet higher will make a huge difference when we have storms.

The barge is back

The progress on the Magnolia Pier is very noticeable.   The workers have been doing a great job and also they have been very nice.

3 hours after the king tide on Tuesday

You can see how the raising of the Magnolia Pier 2 feet will make a huge difference during high tides.

More progress on The Magnolia Pier

On Thursday the workers put up some of the railings.  It is starting to look like The Magnolia Pier.  Who wants to be first to jump off when it is complete.

The Magnolia Pier looks very great

Through the last three days of relentless wind and waves, the construction of the Magnolia Pier looks great.
