Hearst San Simeon pier reopens after five months of repairs
Pier reopens following $3.6 million renovation project
– The Hearst Beach pier at San Simeon Cove will reopen to the public Friday, Feb. 21, following five months of repairs. The $3.6 million project was awarded to Cushman Contracting Corporation in Goleta.
Repairs included replacing missing or deteriorated pier piles with fiberglass-reinforced polymer pipe piles, replacing damaged pile caps, bracing, stringers, and blocking. The project also included installing all new deck boards, curbs, handrails, and a new waterline with wharf hydrants.
“I am pleased that this very popular landmark has been repaired ahead of schedule and will reopen to the public this Friday, just before our busy spring break travel season gets underway,” said Dan Falat, San Luis Obispo Coast District Superintendent.
