New Jersey's famous Seaside Heights boardwalk is about to be rebuilt in time for Memorial Day weekend following its destruction from Hurricane Sandy last October.
The city awarded a $3.6-million contract to start work on the mile long boardwalk.
The contract approved Wednesday just covers replacement of the boards and the substructure beneath it. But a future contract will include ramps, railings and a protective sea wall.
The work should be done May 10.
Seaside Heights is the second major boardwalk to start rebuilding. Belmar started construction last week.

Rain moved in Saturday afternoon and the chance for it will stick around through the seven day forecast.
It becomes very unsettled across our area with clounds and showers again Sunday. The best chance for rain is in the morning and afternoon thunderstorms are possible towards our south.
Sunday is cool but we do warm up well into the 80s by Tuesday. With the warm weather comes a better chance for thunderstorms.
