JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — The above video is from a previous story.
No exact date has been set yet for the reopening of the Jacksonville Beach Pier, according to a City of Jacksonville spokesperson.
"There will be a ribbon cutting or something similar at the end of the June or beginning of July. We are still awaiting final details," the spokesperson said.
First Coast News will keep you posted with any new information.
The Pier has been closed for renovation since 2019.
The last 300 feet of the pier was destroyed when powerful waves washed over the beach during Hurricane Matthew in 2016.
The pier reopened to the public in February of 2018, but only the first 600 feet of the 1,300-foot structure was available to walk on.
The renovations project planned to give the pier larger and stronger pilings with a slope of eight feet. The construction was also slated to raise the deck to make it sturdier against extreme weather.
