Pipes removed from New Smyrna Beach after major dredging project

A five-month dredging project to restore sand along New Smyrna Beach is finally complete, and crews are now working to remove equipment from the shoreline. During the day, heavy machinery is lifting and unscrewing large dredging pipes from the beach. Overnight and in the early morning hours, a separate crew drags the pipes out to sea and loads them onto a barge for removal. The county hopes to have all equipment off the beach by Memorial Day weekend.
