Trucking in the Stone



The Newburyport Daily News reported that 32,000 tons of stone will be trucked in from quarries in Rhode Island, Peabody, MA & Raymond NH to repair the jetty. The really large blocks are arriving two at a time on flatbed trucks. There is only a single road into Salisbury Beach State Reservation. The trucks have to get in line with beach goers and campers trying to get in as well.

Trucks pull into the section of the parking lot fenced off for the construction crew.


The trucks then make a U-turn so they can then back out onto the beach ramp.
