The current swing style bridge at Onslow Beach, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune rotates to allow a boat to conitnue it's way along the Intercoastal Waterway. The bridge was built in the 1950’s and was distressed during Hurricane Florence, accelerating the need for a replacement. Beach goers and Marines accessing training areas along the shoreline will be able to use the new bridge in Fall 2024.
Crews working at the bridge replacement site have been working 23 ft below the water line while staying nice and dry with the help of a millennia old technology: the cofferdam.

Members of Resident Officer in Charge of Construction Florence Camp Lejeune were able to celebrate the holiday’s a little early with the early completion of P-1505, the replacement project for two railroad trestles at Queens Creek and White Oak River, as well as the replacement of all railroad ties along the 34 mile line between Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

The original trestles received damage during Hurricane Florence in 2018. A restoration assessment and structural analysis recommended replacement due to numerous signs of structural decay.
