The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Pacific Civil & Infrastructure Inc. at its Aug. 11 meeting to complete repairs at Point No Point, following significant damage that occurred to the area following a king tide event in December of 2022.

During the king tide, tidal waters overtopped the Point No Point north beach in Hansville. Emergency repairs were initially completed, but additional repairs were required. Phase 2 will reconstruct the beaches and surroundings to allow the park to fully reopen, per county documents. Construction is slated to start in late August and be completed by the end of November.

Work will include repairs to the main parking lot, reconstruction of the rock revetment wall in front of the lighthouse, additional elevation improvements to the beach, and planting native vegetation to stabilize the north beach and support long-term resiliency, per a county news release.

The park will remain closed to vehicular traffic during construction to ensure public safety and allow for efficient progress, per a county news release. Construction materials, equipment, and operations will be staged within the park. The park will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists during construction, including over Labor Day weekend.

“We understand this work impacts nearby residents and we are committed to keeping disruptions to a minimum,” the release states. “However, active construction will include frequent movement of heavy equipment entering and exiting the staging area. While most work will occur during regular hours, there may be occasional evening activity to maintain the project timeline, which could result in increased noise.”

The total project cost is about $1.32 million, which falls within the county’s parks capital fund.
