The city of Newport Beach’s long-awaited Marina Park project is reported to be on scheduled and under budget. Once completed, visiting boaters will have new docking space and residents will have open space and a new park. Marina Park on track to open spring 2016


NEWPORT BEACH — The Newport Beach City Council received news that Marina Park is on schedule and under budget during a presentation made at the Sept. 23 City Council Study Session. According to Public Works Director


Dave Webb the project is running the city an estimated $38 million instead of the originally estimated $39.5 mil- lion. Construction of the 10-acre park


project began in December. The first of four phases included the removal of 57 mobile homes and clearing of the loca- tion. Approximately $60,000 was cred- ited back to the project since 47 of the


homes were designated for re-use. Marina construction followed in


March with the installation of stone columns, installation of new marina handrails and concrete sheet piles and bulkhead cap construction. Dredging of the new marina was also carried out, which resulted in sand replenish- ment to China Cove Beach (5,000 yards); the south side of the Newport Pier (10,000 yards), and the remaining 20,000 yards went to the growing field near the shore zone. The sand replenishment portion of


the project was made to “much of the happiness of residents,” Webb said. Dutra Construction Co. is expected
