Written by Miami Today on May 23, 2023

Revamping of the Hobie Island Beach portion of the Rickenbacker Causeway will begin May 30 under a $12.8 million contract with Magnum Construction Management LLC, the county announced last week.

County commissioners approved the contract by a 12-0 vote on March 7. The work includes stabilizing shoreline, renourishing the beach, adding new seawalls, installing a new stormwater management system, paving parking and parkways, creating new paver walkways, adding guardrails, and doing extensive landscaping, as well as creating new paved bike lanes and trails in an area of frequent and highly publicized bicycle accidents.
