Ocean City, Md. (February 6, 2022) -- The county boat ramp located off Golf Course Road at the West Ocean City Harbor is undergoing rehabilitation work and is closed to the public now through May 31, 2011.
This four-month project will cost approximately $450,000 to construct a new six-lane boat ramp with supporting bulkhead, fixed piers and floating docks. The project will be compliant with Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Standards to assure access to all.
Project funding was provided through a Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Waterway Improvement grant of $121,847.50 and U.S. Fish and Wildlife grant of $327,829.50.
“Over the years, Worcester County has been able to foster a tremendous working relationship with Maryland’s DNR, thus enabling a true “partnership” in improving access to Maryland’s Coastal Bays,” said Worcester County Public Works Director John Tustin. “This project affords continued and enhanced recreational boating access along with safety improvements and will be fully ADA accessible to all. Thanks go out to DNR for helping to secure the Federal funds to make this project a success story.”
The West Ocean City boat ramp, constructed in 1988, is utilized by thousands of boaters and anglers each year. The renovation project will assure continued access to and from Maryland’s coastal bays and the Atlantic Ocean well into the future.
