Rehoboth’s canal access dock taking shape
Work continues to progress on the much-anticipated Lewes-Rehoboth Canal access dock near Grove Park in Rehoboth Beach.
Construction began in April. A few weeks later, an old observation deck was removed because the foundation was poorly constructed. A few weeks after that, the first set of concrete blocks was put into place. Now, as of July 15, the block foundation of the ramp appears to be nearly complete.
In May, Rehoboth Beach Public Works Director Kevin Williams said the $1.25 million project is expected to be completed in November.
Chris Flood has been working for the Cape Gazette since early 2014. He currently covers Rehoboth Beach and Henlopen Acres, but has also covered Dewey Beach and the state government. He covers environmental stories, business stories and random stories on subjects he finds interesting, and he also writes a column called Choppin’ Wood that runs every other week. Additionally, Flood moonlights as the company’s circulation manager, which primarily means fixing boxes that are jammed with coins during daylight hours, but sometimes means delivering papers in the middle of the night. He’s a graduate of the University of Maine and the Landing School of Boat Building & Design.
