Foundation System Complete for Choptank River Lighthouse Replica

     Cambridge, Md. -- Progress on constructing the Choptank River Lighthouse replica is going strong. In late October, the foundation system—seven 70-foot screwpiles and various supports—was finished by marine contractors Dissen & Juhn. Take a look at Long Wharf these days and you'll get a sense of the lighthouse's footprint. The next step is to build the cottage structure of the lighthouse. As soon as revisions for fire code compliance are complete, along with final contract negotiations, work on the lighthouse cottage will begin. The estimated start date is in December and the construction will last about seven months. You can drive by or cruise past Long Wharf in the weeks ahead to watch the progress toward completion.
