The  2024/25 North Jetty Revetment Improvement Project is progressing smoothly as the contractor prepares to install permanent sheet pile that will serve as the protective seawall for the structure.

Seawall construction will begin along the inlet side of the north jetty and will take several weeks to complete. Once the inlet section of the seawall is completed, the contractor will focus on pier demolition and then construction of the landward seawall. 

When the project is completed by July 2025, the north jetty will feature the following improvements: 190 linear feet of revetment structure with four-foot diameter granite boulders and a steel, sheet pile seawall with a concrete sidewalk deck along portions of the jetty damaged by storms.

The project could require up to eight months to complete (completion targeted for July). Public access to the north jetty is unavailable as this is  a fenced-off  "hard hat" construction site.  The jetty improvements are part of the District’s responsibility to maintain inlet infrastructure, navigation, and enhance public safety.

Also, the webcam is unavailable until the project is complete. 

Note: The project is located within Sebastian Inlet State Park, but the Sebastian Inlet District is the responsible entity.  

Stay tuned for updates.
