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.
