Weeks Marine, the federal government\u2019s contractor for the project, has installed temporary \u201chumps\u201d of sand over the pipeline so beachgoers can hit the much-expanded sand.<\/p>\n<p>The initial entrance to the beach looks similar to how it always has, but once visitors pass the snack bar and small opening path, the entrance expands to a massive protective dune. The dune will receive acres of dune grass plantings in the fall, when the grasses are in transplanting season. The entrance to the beach will also be designed similarly to Long Beach Island\u2019s beachfront, where a wide, hard-packed path will move down diagonally to the beach front. This design, officials have said, ensures that there is a protective dune both in front of \u2013 and behind \u2013 the entranceway to prevent the funneling or overwash of water during storms.<\/p>\n<p>Officially,\u00a08th Avenue; Brick Beach III Vehicular and ADA Crossovers are under construction, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
