VENICE FISHING PIER UPDATE: Tampa Bay Marine Inc., the contractor for the Venice Municipal Fishing Pier hurricane damage repair project, has started work this week.

The scope of the project includes removal and replacement of hurricane-damaged framing, decking and railing on the pier’s T-section, leaving primary structural components (beams, pile caps and piles) in place.

The portion of the pier not being repaired from hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as the bait shop, will remain open during construction, although there may be some intermittent closures during the project.

Construction is expected to be complete in 4 to 6 weeks.

A reminder that a majority of the pier, to just past the bait shop, is currently open to the public.
