The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed emergency repairs to the rock revetment (Groins) in Westport at about 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 23. They placed rock along about 150 linear feet of the revetment in the vicinity of Westport Seafood off Neddie Rose Drive where a section was at risk of failing.
They placed approximately 1,118 tons of 2-6-ton rocks, working primarily during low tide periods. Construction was luckily completed just before peak swells reached the Washington coast early Sunday morning. Monitoring of the repair and other sections continues to ensure no other weak spots develop.
The Corps of Engineers also provided sandbags to local communities over the weekend, including 6,000 sandbags to the Quinault Tribe and 2,500 to the City of Westport.
