The first phase of restoring the beach at the end of Radio Road in Little Egg Harbor Township, as well as the gateway to Graveling Point state land, is being completed this week.

Ocean County owns Radio Road, so it fell to the county to bulkhead the cul-de-sac to keep the end of the road from eroding.

Sadly, it had to be done in fair weather, on days that reached 90 degrees and when families sought relief at the beach and were turned away. But they found other areas to get wet: at First Bridge on Radio Road and the beach at the end of Parkertown Dock Road.

Little Egg Harbor Township Engineer Jason Worth said the beach end bulkhead should be finished by the end of next week.
