The project, completed as of July 15, placed 479,000 cubic yards of dredged sand along more than a mile of beachfront from 29th to 55th Street, with contractor Norfolk Dredging Co. now removing equipment.

The $21.6 million contract is the first of five Cape May County replenishments this summer, following an April announcement of $99 million in federal funding for the region.
