Santa Cruz Wharf partial collapse debris removal set for Saturday
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (KION-TV) -- On June 7 and 8, the City of Santa Cruz will be working with the Coast Guard to remove heavy equipment and wooden debris from the sea floor.
This is following the wharf's partial collapse late last year.
Preparation and equipment mobilization for the operation were scheduled to be done Friday, while the in-water removal will be happening on Saturday and Sunday.
The city says the operation has been delayed until now due to the need for calm sea conditions during the removal process.
The wharf and its businesses will stay open during the operation, but the city is asking people to stay clear of the work zone.
Beachgoers and boaters are also asked by the city to stay at least 300 feet away from any dive flags.
