Construction Progress
If you’ve driven through Mahone Bay, NS, recently, you may have realized that construction is fast underway! The Mahone Bay Living Shoreline as we know it is expanding rapidly!
Over the past two weeks, the construction crew has removed the rock sill along the existing embankment to expand the Living Shoreline from 60m to 140m! We have expanded the shoreline northward, laying down sediment as the shoreline's base layer.
Over the next couple weeks, you can expect to see the work on the base layer continuing, with the addition of a sand layer placed on top. This expansion will allow the Living Shoreline to further combat the effects of climate change, coastal erosion and flooding along Edgewater Street.
Stay tuned for further pictures and updates as construction continues!
