Caspersen boardwalk & Harbor Drive partial closure to repair damage due to beach erosion

 

Sarasota County

Harbor Drive South will be temporarily closed beginning tomorrow, Sept. 15 through Sept. 17 between Lake Venice Golf Club entrance/exit and Caspersen Beach for park maintenance and construction.

A portion of the Gulf side boardwalk at Caspersen Beach Park has been substantially impacted by erosion and sections have been closed off for visitor safety. To reduce future erosion impacts, the current boardwalk pilings that are secured in the dune system will be left in place to avoid disturbance to surrounding grounds. All other pilings within the project area, staircase and boardwalk material will be removed and repaired.
