New Jersey Natural Gas’ Long Beach Island Reinforcement Project is underway in West Creek, and despite an unexpected delay last month, work is on schedule to finish up by Memorial Day.

The plan is to run 2.72 miles of 12-inch steel pipe as a secondary natural gas line under Little Egg Harbor from the end of Dock Road in West Creek to West 99thStreet (Alabama Avenue) in Beach Haven Park to supply Long Beach Island in the next superstorm.
