The contract for the Russ Point Boat Landing Shoreline Stabilization project has been awarded to O’Quinn Marine Construction Inc., of Beaufort.
According to a release from Sam Queen, spokesperson for the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, their engineers and park management will be working with the hired company to develop a construction timeline.
In the meantime, Hunting Island team members have worked on grading the current road to the landing and completing other preconstruction maintenance.
The contractor’s timeline will depend on tides, water levels and weather events.
The public will be updated once a timeline is set, according to Queen.
