Reconstructing the Saltaire Marina


The first stage of Saltaire's two year project to replace the old docks began in late Spetember 2005 with the demolition and replacement of the East dock north of the 'bridge.'

Work resumed the fall of 2006 and continued through the winter into 2007.  After replacing the old West dock, the remaining section of the East dock was reconstructed.

In the early fall of 2007, the new dock house was built and the project was complete.
