Permits Sought to Expand Pleasure and Long Beaches
Bridgeport and Stratford officials filed requests with state and federal authorities to deposit fill from dredging in Bridgeport harbor to widen Pleasure and Long beaches. The plan, backed by Army engineers as erosion countermeasures, would widen Pleasure beach by about 60 percent and extend Long beach by about 200 feet, with sand pumped from the harbor by an Arundel Co. dredge. Costs would be borne by federal contracts, with local spoil areas provided by Bridgeport and Stratford.
