Hobbyist drone pilot and photographer Jeff Wenzel has just posted a video about the North Topsail Beach – New River Inlet works.
This Onslow County/North Topsail Beach joint project consists of performing channel maintenance dredging along approximately 10,600 linear feet (approximately two miles) of existing navigation channels within the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) in the vicinity of the New River as well as in the channel within the New River extending from the AIWW to Jacksonville, the New River/AIWW Crossing, and Cedar Bush Cut.
The beach compatible material is being placed within along the northern oceanfront shoreline at North Topsail Beach.
The $2.4 million dredging operations are expected to be completed within next couple of weeks.
