Fair Haven’s municipal dock, washed away by Hurricane Sandy, is expected to reopen by Memorial Day weekend, borough officials said Monday night.
The repair job is expected to cost $90,000, borough Engineer Richard Gardella reported to the borough council.
The surging Navesink River washed away the entrance section of the dock onto a neighbor’s lawn during the October 29 storm, said Mayor Ben Lucarelli.
He said repair workers will try to pick up the decking with a crane and move it back onto the pilings.
The dock, which is used for fishing, crabbing and summer concerts, was last refurbished in 2009, at a cost of more than $200,000.
