COUPEVILLE: Wharf work underway (WNT)
Karina Andrew reports on the Port of Coupeville for the Whidbey News-Times.
After nearly four years, construction work on the substructure of the historic Coupeville Wharf is finally underway.
The Port of Coupeville announced in a newsletter this month that the $1.4 million replacement and rehabilitation of dilapidated caps and piles supporting the wharf is currently ongoing…. The driving of eight new steel piles will take place at the beginning of December.
They Said It
Port Executive Director Chris Michalopoulos said the work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The wharf will likely remain open throughout the construction process and may remain open during the driving of the steel piles, Michalopoulos said, though he warned that the process will cause vibrations throughout the wharf, so it may not be the best time to visit the Front Street structure.
He said there may be a time when the wharf building is closed, though the causeway may remain open.
