Seawall update via Asharoken

Dear Neighbors
 
On Monday, the Village, assisted by the Town of Huntington Highway Department, completed a repair to the seawall.  Severe beach erosion on the seaward side of the wall resulted in two sink holes between the sheet steel and the road.  These two areas were refilled with approximately 172 tons of stone of varying size.  The plan was designed and the construction was supervised by the engineering firm GEI hired by the Village.  The cost of the project was mainly paid for by a $50,000 grant that the Village received from Assemblyman Keith Brown.  Not all of the grant money was used on this project so thankfully the Village has the balance left over for any future repairs.
 
Although this project is only considered a patch on an otherwise outdated structure, it is anticipated that it will buy the Village enough time to be able to come up with a comprehensive restoration plan for the entire seawall area.
 
I would like to thank Town of Huntington Highway Superintendent Andre Sorrentino for providing a payloader, a claw machine to place the rocks and traffic control.  The machine operators and traffic control team did an amazing job of getting this project done in one day. This is the fourth time the Village and Town have partnered to do repair work on the wall.
