Thread: Pier Update

[size=12pt]I just saw on WKRG 5 News that the they are POSSIBLY going to have the pier open Saturday morning.
Possibly not Probably. but still sounds promising!

The last time the pier was damaged, only half from beach to the Mid was opened quickly. The repairs took a while on the Octi.
I kinda wish I hadn't posted this, but I doubt that I am the only one who saw it on the news.

I sure hope this is one time the news crew got it right.[/size]

I guess there's a lot of pressure to have everything full speed for Labor Day. It would suit me just fine for the pier to be ready when the water will let us catch fish. A Saturday opening would far exceed expectations.

[size=12pt][font=comic sans ms]Just copied the following from the Alabama State Park fb page!

“The contractors are making amazing progress in putting the Pier back together. There is "hope" that it will be open Saturday (Not a guarantee), however there will still likely be some repair work need then, like replacing water spigots on the end of the Pier.”

What should they be harnessed to? Why be concerned about a 20 ft. fall into water in the first place? I'm no expert on the regulations, but beside from the guy on the deck wearing only a soft cap I can see anything that would be out of compliance.

I happened to be driving by and saw a truck carrying a load of treated lumber going around the barricade
