Ocean County crews have begun work on replacing the bulkhead by the bay at the end of West 80th Street in Harvey Cedars. The work does not involve borough employees because the street is a county road.

Mayor Jonathan Oldham said that after Superstorm Sandy, the borough conducted an analysis of all the bulkheads at the street ends. At that point, officials decided that if a bulkhead had to be replaced, the new structure would be placed at 5 feet above the mean high water mark.
