Default Moss Bluff River Park construction

I stopped there a few days ago to take some pictures of the work that is being done.

I think the work was started the first week of April 2014.

It's killing me not having a launch close to my house to use. I'm having to drive all the way to ward 8 which its not really that far but when you are used to being at the launch in 3 mins you get spoiled.

It seems like it's been about 3-4 weeks since I have seen any work out there.

I wonder if they are waiting on materials to be delivered to work on the docks?

They are waiting because the 4ft of rock that was hauled in is sinking , they are waiting to see if will stop so engineers can decide on how to proceed .

Where???

In the parking area on the west side of the road to the launch? That area was fairly low and swampy, so it would not surprise me that it would "settle" some.

Or.... on either side of the road, down near the launch?

I did not notice any sinking..... but I was not looking that close. I might have stop there again to have a closer look.
