Site as Viewed From Plum Island

As mentioned in the previous post, you can get a good view of the Salisbury jetty construction from the the northern tip of Plum Island. There are a limited number of free parking spaces. If those are filled up, there is a paid parking lot. I haven't walked out to the south jetty yet to get photos but you can get good views from the beach along the Merrimack River.

A third crane and third stone transport barge are now working at the site. It easily recognized by its white crane mast.

There are two red cranes. This is the smaller of the two. It is anchored along the beach near the stone pile ready to load more stone on to the transport barge.

This is the larger of the two red cranes. In addition to loading stone onto the barge, it also used to lift the excavators onto a barge so they can be move to the outer section of the jetty. I will have a video of this in a future post.

One of two tugboats which move the barges between the beach staging area and the jetty.

Large boulders are placed on the rubber mats to keep them from washing away.

Two excavators parked on the jetty for the weekend.

The "No Wake" zone has been extended to include the mouth of the Merrimack. The double fine for construction sites applies along this stretch. The Newburyport Daily News reports the Harbormaster will be enforcing it.

A couple enjoy the nice weather on the beach.
