2025 Queensborough Shoreline Rehabilitation Project - Location 2
Anticipated completion: Spring 2026PROJECT UPDATE
December 23, 2025
Site work has been successfully winterized and completed for the 2025 holiday season. During this temporary hiatus, the contractor will conduct daily site inspections to monitor security and ensure all Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) measures remain effective.
Upon returning in the New Year, crews will work towards the completion of the dyke restoration. This upcoming work includes specialized rock placement, native planting, and a comprehensive site cleanup to restore the natural landscape.
Project Timeline
- Completed Milestones: Clearing and grubbing are finished, and all debris—including garbage and old timbers—has been successfully removed from the site.
- Current Phase: Crews are currently focused on critical slope stabilization, establishing the vegetation bench, and completing the upper dyke armoring to ensure long-term structural integrity.
- Final Phase: The final restoration stage is scheduled for Spring 2026, which will involve the remaining planting and a final site-wide cleanup.
Whats Next
- Resumption of Work: Crews will be back on-site to resume active construction on January 5th.
- Project Completion: The project is currently on track for final completion in Spring 2026.
PROJECT DETAILS
Construction of Location 2 of the Queensborough Shoreline Rehabilitation is scheduled to begin in October 2025, with final completion expected in Winter 2026. This phase builds on the successful stabilization works completed in Location 1 and continues the City’s commitment to enhancing shoreline resilience along the Queensborough foreshore.
The Queensborough Shoreline Rehabilitation Project focuses on rebuilding and reinforcing a section of the dyke to enhance its structural stability and resilience. The project involves the removal of invasive plant species, unsuitable soils, and outdated materials, followed by the import of structural fills and rock to strengthen the shoreline. These improvements are critical for protecting the dyke against erosion and ensuring its long-term reliability for flood prevention.
In addition to the structural enhancements, the project includes a comprehensive re-vegetation plan. Native and non-invasive plant species will be introduced to restore the natural environment, enhance the ecological health of the shoreline, and improve the visual appeal of the area. This rehabilitation effort reflects the City’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure and environmental stewardship.
Construction of Location 1 was completed in July 2025. The work included removing unstable timber and debris, reshaping the slope, placing geotextile and protective rock armor, and implementing native shoreline plantings. These measures have strengthened the dyke, improved habitat function, and enhanced visual quality along the waterfront.
Before After
PROJECT TIMELINE
Construction for Location 2 will begin in October 2025, with work continuing through the fall and into Winter 2026. The project is expected to take approximately 4-6 months to complete, depending on weather conditions and tidal access.
Work will be carried out in stages to limit disruption to nearby residents and protect environmental features along the shoreline.
WHAT'S NEXT?
As construction begins on Location 2, the following activities are expected in the coming weeks:
- Contractor mobilization to the site, including equipment delivery and staging
- Installation of construction fencing along the shoreline work zone for public safety
- Temporary parking restrictions in adjacent areas to accommodate machinery and materials
Regular updates will be shared as work progresses through Fall 2025 and Winter 2026.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS
Duration: October 2025 - Winter 2026
Hours of Work: 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday
Night work as required for tidal accessDuring construction of Location 2, residents and visitors can expect:
- Equipment access and activity along the shoreline
- Minimal noise and dust as heavy machinery stabilizes the slope
Construction sequencing will be designed to minimize impacts, and the project team will monitor environmental conditions closely. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we complete these vital works.
