A proposed reconstruction project for wharf facilities at Port Edward Harbour has reached the public consultation phase of the review process, with a window of opportunity those who have public comment to share on the plans to come to an end on August 5th.

The overview of the project from the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada which you can review here, notes of the importance of the dock to the North Coast Fishing industry and how it provides for loading and offloading services.

Towards the work Small Crafts Harbours notes:

The proposed project involves reconstruction of timber post foundations as well as replacement of timber sub-structure beams for wharfs supporting buildings in the north portion of the harbour. 

The project will also include construction of 50m x 18m wharf deck, comprised of steel beams and concrete deck on existing steel piles, to complete the loading wharf in the central area of the harbour. Construction of the central loading wharf will restore lost functionality of wharves demolished in previous construction phases. 

Services in the central area will be reconstructed to meet the requirements of the loading wharf and adjacent service area. Resurfacing of the central service area will be completed with asphalt top layer
