The recent Nor-Easter has caused considerable beach damage in the North End of Avalon. Therefore the back passing operation planned for this Spring will have to be more extensive than originally planned. This effort is further complicated by the limited access for the required heavy equipment to be moved onto the island. Bridge weight limitations mean that the Avalon Boulevard Bridge, currently under reconstruction, is the only bridge that can handle this heavy equipment. Concrete barriers now in place will have to be moved for the equipment to cross the bridge and this cannot be done until concrete has been poured. It is anticipated that this will not be until mid-April, so the back passing operation will begin later than originally planned.
