en.Wedoany.com Reported - The latest beach nourishment project in Avon, located on Hatteras Island, North Carolina, resumed construction yesterday after being suspended due to a mechanical failure on the dredge vessel.

The project is being carried out by Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company. Its dredge vessel, the Liberty Island, returned to Dare County on Saturday after completing repairs in Norfolk, Virginia, and resumed pumping sand onto the Avon shoreline on Sunday.

As of Sunday, sand placement operations were underway in the area between Pampas Drive and Yucca Street, where crews had been working before the project was paused. The work was suspended on May 29 due to mechanical issues with the Liberty Island shortly after it began sand placement operations.

According to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, weather permitting, it is expected to take approximately two weeks to place about 375,000 cubic yards of sand material on Avon Beach.
