New bulkhead being reconstructed along the shoreline of the Town of Bath
BATH, N.C. (WNCT) — The Town of Bath is seeing the reconstruction and replacement of the timber bulkheads along the shoreline. Bonner Point is a vital part of the town, but it's also state owned.
The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources decided to come in and rehabilitate the bulkhead. They say after hurricane Florence, the docks were damaged and since then has fell apart.
'We're preserving the point so it doesn't erode away, and we had a bulkhead, but the water had come over. Now they've reinforced it to prevent it from washing away and preserve our beautiful town,' said Theresa Lowry, who lives right near Bonner Point.
The first phase of this reconstruction will be completed in April, and they will start the second phase in fall 2025.
