Barge and Haul Materials


One of the nuncios of living and building on an island is the scarcity of rock, sand, wood, etc.  Consequently everything has to be barged onto the island.  Yesterday LTA representatives met with a company that barges materials from the mainland.  They said the maximum that could be hauled at once was 8 yards which will be the base of the road.  In order to get this material across the bridge to the north side, we met with a Town Council representative to obtain a permit.  The councilman agreed to provide the permit.  Now we are waiting for the barge to bring the materials from the mainland on Saturday.

Similar fill that will be used for the road
With the completion of Phase One to the road construction, these upcoming materials will be used to complete Phase Two.
