Beginning today, November 14, 2016, and continuing through mid- January 2017, a construction contractor will be delivering rock material out to Ediz Hook to rebuild part of the armoring on the outside edge of the hook. This work is being executed under a US Army Corps of Engineers contract. During this period, dump trucks carrying rock material will be traveling the roads on the hook.
