Replenishment underway at Roosevelt Inlet

Crews are hard at work restoring the beach at Roosevelt Inlet in Lewes. The $4.9 million project will add 104,000 cubic yards of material from the inlet to an area between Iowa and Missouri avenues.

After a summer that saw beachgoers squeezing into tight spaces, especially during high tide, the wider beach will be a welcome sight when visitors return next summer. 

The project is expected to be completed in mid-January.
