Seal Beach Pier Undergoing Restoration Due To Wear And Deterioration

SEAL BEACH, CA — The Seal Beach Pier will be undergoing repairs starting Monday due to wear and deterioration showing in the abutment area.

According to pier evaluation results in 2021, the abutment is showing wear and damage. The restoration project will address the main areas of concern such as cracking concrete, deterioration of exposed steel elements and worn surfaces caused by the corrosive marine environment.

"These conditions need to be addressed if the structure is to remain a viable component of the City’s identity," the city said.

The City Council approved the restoration efforts at the March 25 city council meeting and contractors will begin work starting May 13.

The concrete portion of the pier and the ramps adjacent to the pier will be partially closed throughout the construction, but pedestrian access will be available.

Sections of the pier abutment, ramps and the underneath passage access will be closed in stages depending on where work is being done.

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of July, officials said.
