Ocean Beach pier opens ahead of Fourth of July, anniversary celebrations [Breaking]
The Ocean Beach Pier reopened Saturday after damage caused during powerful winter storms prompted a six-month closure, city officials said.
The pier was closed on Jan. 6, and an assessment several months later determined storms had caused damage to several buildings, railings and a pump station. While some repairs have been made, city officials said, the pump station still needs to be fixed — a process that will continue for several weeks. Public access won’t be impacted by that work, but the pier’s restrooms will remain closed until those repairs are complete.
On June 10, the city hosted the second in a series of community workshops to share information about the project and gather community input. That feedback will be used by the city’s engineering consultants as they develop several design alternatives for a potential pier replacement.
