Has anyone seen the new barrier project being erected on the banks of Shark Island?

On March 22 they had 3 of the 4 projects erected. One was wood that looked like a long pier and the the others were concrete. I wish the concrete barriers were erected further away from the banks so that we could fish the banks for redfish. One option would be tying up the boat to the barrier using rubber fenders and then fishing from the top of the barrier as you would fish from a pier.

in early March i saw them working on either product 1 or 2 location. i haven't been that way since.
