Latest Update
The public beach access behind the Surfside Community Center is now open and construction is occurring north of the area on 93rd street. During the project's duration, residents are reminded to please be aware of and abide by construction signs when visiting the public beach.
Project Overview
In order to address critical beach erosion in Surfside, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in coordination with Miami-Dade County and the Town of Surfside, is placing approximately 330,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand, hauled by trucks from an upland mine, to renourish the public beach in Surfside. The construction is being carried out by Continental Heavy Civil Corp of Miami, Florida, which was
awarded the $17.9 million contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District. The renourishment project officially began on Monday, August 19, 2019.
Please note that some of the street-end signs with mosaic artwork designed by art students at Ruth K. Broad K-8 Center which were recently installed in Surfside, have temporarily been removed for safekeeping during the project's entirety. They will be re-installed once the project has been completed.
