Broward County is building back the shoreline with a sand bypass project that has been years in the making.

The project has been established to address sand walls, also known as cliffing, along South Broward beaches.

"We have a need for sand for the south side of the inlet," said Stephanie Roche, a Broward County beach program manager.

Decades of planning for solution

For more than three decades, Broward County has been working on a way to combat beach erosion south of Port Everglades, where jetties and the inlet disrupt the natural sand flow. After years of planning, officials say the sand bypass is the solution.

"The project is going to allow us to physically move that sand and capture it in an efficient way to move it south of the inlet and to restore the beaches," Roche said.
