Alabama gulf state pier??

Thunderstruck · 11-14-2008, 01:28 PM

Has anyone heard of the completion date or a date the pier is going to open?

On last Thursday's WNSP Outdoor show I asked Vernon Minton (of the ADMR) about that very same question.

He said, as far as he knew the pier is still expected to open March 1, 2009

I have heard nothing directly from the Engineer in charge (Terry Boyd) since just after Hurricane Ike damaged the pier. Maybe a few emails will get them to clarify the opening date...

'Getsome' is doing the roof and siding on it. He may be able to tell you the status on it. I know he told me you can look at the pilings and see a ton of fish already. Said they saw a ton of sheep head out there last week. They dont let anyone take a pole right now tho.

Greg Thacker is the project super for LCI. He told me last week that they are still on schedule for March 1st. He said they would have been completed in December if the storms had not caused so much damages.

Thanks for the update!

Here's what it looked like today (from the cam)

They sure have a LOT to do in the next 100 days! About 300 more feet...

It appears they are dismantling the old pier.
I guess building the end of the new one is last priority :doh

Just as long as they DO build the end platform...

Still haven't heard when they plan to open :banghead
