BEAUFORT, S.C. (WSAV) — There’s now several options on how to fix the Beaufort waterfront, but officials said it could be years before the city could see those results
“In any situation, one alternative is do nothing. Of course, that's not a realistic alternative here because we don't want to see these fences up forever,” said Beaufort City Manager Scott Marshall, pointing at the fencing that has lined the closed portion of the waterfront for months.
The city was recently presented eight options by city hired engineers to fix the waterfront’s relieving platform. They’ve narrowed their options down to three.
The first option is to rebuild the same size and style of the relieving platform that exists now.
The second would be to replace the structure by establishing a seawall and backfill
