The existing boardwalk and ramp sustained major damage during Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole. Permit VO-1474 was issued on May 27, 2022, to authorize replacement of approximately 80 linear feet of timber ramp providing ADA-compliant pedestrian access to the beach from the 27th Avenue Beachside Park, owned and operated by the City of New Smyrna Beach. The lower portion of the structure was heavily damaged, and the entire structure is unusable and currently closed to the public. The entire structure will be replaced with a new timber structure utilizing flow-through decking. The new structure will not extend any further waterward than the existing structures currently does and will not result in an increase of the footprint area over the existing structure prior to its being damaged. This is a turn-key project that will be partially funded by FEMA and as such shall comply with all FEMA requirements.
