Mayor Small Announces Plans for $26M in Atlantic City Boardwalk Repair
Posted March 12, 2024City of Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small, Sr. announced during a March 12, 2024 news conference that the $20-million awarded to the city as part of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s $100-million Boardwalk Preservation Fund will be used to improve the Atlantic City Boardwalk from New Jersey to Tennessee Avenues. Atlantic City is receiving the largest grant in the State under this fund, along with Asbury Park. This work is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2026.
This announcement came as the start of a $6-million Boardwalk reconstruction project from Bellevue Avenue to Columbia Pl got underway this week. Utilizing the grant money awarded to the city from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (USEDA), the city is replacing this particular section of the Boardwalk that is over 100 years old. In addition, as part of this project, new concrete ramps will be installed at Texas Avenue and Mississippi Avenue. These ramps will be fortified to handle vehicles for larger scale events.
Construction has begun on Bellevue Avenue and will continue to Florida Avenue this Spring. The contractor will then remobilize after the busy Summer season, and continue from Florida Avenue to Columbia Pl, with plans to extend improvements to Arkansas Avenue. This section of the Boardwalk is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2024. The project was designed by Czar Engineering. The Boardwalk contractor is Weatherby Construction, and the Texas Avenue ramp is being built by Feriozzi Concrete Company.
