Rode down by the pier Last Sat. in the boat. It looks like the new build is out to about where the old pier stopped. So I guess it is about half way complete. They are building the hand rails just about as fast as they drive piles. No pier house yet, It seems that they are making good progress.

| I have a bid in on the 3 buildings on the pier. It will be the longest pier on the Gulf once it's completed. I think it's going to be just over 1/4 of a mile. Consession stand will serve food with a eating area.

We went on a tour of the new pier on Monday and took over 100 photos. The contractor (LEI, Inc.) is doing a great job, and is making great progress on the pier. If they have good weather, the pier could be completed by late fall or early winter. (The official date for completion is March 1, 2009.)
We're preparing a page with some of the photos and descriptions of what is currently going on at the construction site. This page should be online by Monday. In the meantime, a couple of the pictures from our Monday visit are online at http://www.orangebeach.ws. Click on these images to see a larger view.
Also, if you have not seen it, we published this pier article about two months ago... http://www.orangebeach.ws/Gulf_State_Park/Gulf_State_Park_Pier.html.

Getsome I am always glad to hear about a pier being rebuilt but the Gulf Coast pier in Galveston TX is the longest in the gulf,1/4 mile exactly .The TX state record tarpon was landed off of it a couple of years ago. 1/4 mile is 1,320'.....1,512 is over a 1/4 mile 192' longer.
Soon to be #2 ...see everything in Texas is NOT bigger.
