NORTH WILDWOOD — Repairs are underway to North Wildwood’s beaches following the nor’easter that took out huge chunks of the Jersey Shore last month.

Sand is already being trucked in and officials will vote on a plan to protect the Third Avenue beach, Mayor Patrick Rosenello told PressofAtlanticCity.com.
The Jan. 24 storm eroded beaches up and down the coast. Winds reaching as high as 63 mph in Cape May and 56 mph in Manasquan knocked down trees, power lines and traffic lights. Coastal flooding also caused minor property damage and prompted some areas to shut down streets.
Rosenello said the northern strip of North Wildwood’s beach would require a new berm to secure the most vulnerable point on the island, PressofAtlanticCity.com reported.
Workers will be moving about 4,000 cubic yards of sand per day for 10 days to work on rebuilding the Third Avenue beach, the report said.
