Oct 28, 2024
By San Juan County
The MacKaye Harbor dock and the boat ramp on Normandy Rd will be closed to the public for one day on Tuesday, October 29 from 8:00am to 6:00pm.
SAN JUAN COUNTY, WA October 28, 2024 - San Juan County’s Environmental Stewardship Department is conducting repairs on a sea wall near the dock area on Lopez Island. The MacKaye Harbor dock and the boat ramp on Normandy Rd will be closed to the public on Tuesday, October 29 from 8:00am to 6:00pm. The repairs are anticipated to take one day, and the dock and ramp will reopen on Wednesday, October 30.
During this closure, the public is encouraged to use the docks and ramps located at Odlin County Park and Hunter Bay.
Work crews will be repairing the sea wall to prepare for the upcoming King Tides expected this winter. The repair will help minimize erosion to the bank while protecting the shoreline trees. In the event repair work is impacted by weather, travel logistics, or other unforeseen obstacles, the work will continue into the week.
