Wildwoods Boardwalk Renovations Ahead Of Schedule

Wildwoods Boardwalk Renovations Ahead Of Schedule


April 26th 2022

Come Memorial Day, flip-flop-wearing feet will be walking on top of newly installed pine wood along a three-block stretch of the Wildwood Boardwalk — if Mother Nature plays nice, that is.

A six-month project to repair a portion of the 120-year-old walkway is nearing completion.

“The contract date is May 20. But we’re ahead of schedule,” Mayor Pete Byron said.

Byron estimates the work could be done as soon as May 14.

The entire project, which will refurbish not replace the substructure, add brand new decking, railings and lighting, will target the 24 blocks that need the most attention will cost in the range of $25 million and take five years to complete.

As the mayor walked on the new planks, workers from L. Feriozzi Concrete Company, of Atlantic City, were busy securing the remainder of the decking and installing the new railings as they worked their way up to Maple Avenue.

The three-block section from Oak to Maple avenues needed the most attention and was the first to get refurbished.

Since October, work included refurbishing the existing concrete substructure and adding additional concrete beams to where the tram car path used to be. The entire substructure was then primed, painted and sealed.
The contrast of the existing substructure, with its crumbling concrete and weather-beaten boards, to the refurbished section, is a reminder of how much of a beating the boardwalk has taken.
