Nor’easter Report
During the coastal storm on Sunday and Monday, moderate roadway flooding occurred throughout much of Town. Though the tides continue to remain higher than usual, most of the flooding has receded. No power outages were reported during the storm. The beach incurred significant damage, as did the dunes and walkways. Restoration of the dunes, beach walkways, and the ADA ramp are under the purview of the DNREC; South Bethany is not authorized to conduct any restoration work. We do not yet know when DNREC will begin making repairs. The walkways remain closed for your safety. (See the last section below for information on how to access the beach.)
Fall Bonfire Cancelled
The bonfire scheduled for October 24th is cancelled. We will not be rescheduling the event.
Upcoming Construction on York Road
The Council last week awarded a bid to Kinsley Construction to implement the road raising project that was designed and engineered by AECOM. Please note that work will begin in early November and will last up to two weeks. York Road will remain open during this time, but travel will be reduced to one lane. We will communicate the official start date once it has been identified.
Accessing the Beach
All of the beach walkways will remain closed until repairs are made by DNREC. We urge you to respect the closures and stay off the walkways for your safety and to avoid exacerbating the erosion of the dunes. If you wish to access the beach, you may do so from either the south end of Town or from the two access points in Sandpiper Village. Please use caution when walking on the beach and keep your dogs leashed and off the dunes.
