Construction and Rehabilitation History 



The east and west jetties were constructed at the mouth of the 

 Connecticut River to lengths of 2,300 and 2,250 ft, respectively 

 (Figure 45). The jetties had +5 ft mlw crown elevations, 6-ft crown 

 widths, and 1V:1H side slopes. 



1904 The jetties were repaired using 7,650 tons of stone for a total cost 



1905 of $9,400. The jetties were restored to crown elevations of +5 to 

 +6 ft mlw and crown widths of 6 ft. 



1914_ The west jetty was repaired and raised to a crown elevation of 



1916 +8.5 ft mlw. Approximately 16,000 tons of stone were used and 85 cu 



yd of concrete were placed at the landward end for a total cost of 



$26,000. 



1966- The jetties were considered to be in good condition during visual 

 1978 inspections.

 condition. The jetties do not appear to have a repair history 

 subsequent to 1916.
