Rocky River Harbor East Pier 



Rocky River, Ohio 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1873 Construction of a 448-ft-long rubble-mound pier (Figure 223, Sec- 

 tion B) was completed east of the mouth of the Rocky River. The 

 crest el of the pier was +5.0 ft (Figure 224, Section B) . 



1941 The existing pier was rebuilt to its original design and extended an 

 additional 452 ft lakeward (Figure 223, Section A). The pier exten- 

 sion was of rubble-mound construction and had a crest width of 5 ft 

 and a crest el of +5 ft Iwd (Figure 224, Section A). Side slopes 

 were 1V:1.3H, and armor stones had a minimum weight of 2.5 tons with 

 not less than 40 percent of 4 tons or more. 



1970 A total of 260 stones was placed on the pier to repair storm damage. 



1981 An inspection of the pier indicated the lakeward portion was in good 

 condition, but the shoreward 390 ft of the pier required rehabili- 

 tation. Although no emergency existed at this time, maintenance was 

 recommended to provide full protection to the river entrance and 

 safer access for fishermen onto the pier. It is not known if the 

 repairs were performed. An aerial view of the Rocky River Harbor 

 East pier is shown in Figure 225.
