SANDWICH, Mass. — A Cape Cod landmark has reopened, more than two years after it suffered severe damage in a nasty nor’easter in 2022.
The Sandwich Boardwalk reopened for Memorial Day weekend, town officials said in a Facebook post on Friday, when Select Board members held a final site visit.
ACK Marine, its subcontractors, and Town of Sandwich staff worked through intense storms last week “to bring the Sandwich Boardwalk to substantial completion,” town officials said.
“Please expect full or partial closures in the coming weeks as ACK Marine completes punch list items,” town officials said. “We are exceptionally grateful for your support and patience as we return this beautiful resilient Boardwalk to the community.”
The boardwalk crosses Mill Creek and the marsh, leading to the town beach on Cape Cod Bay.
The site is a popular destination for tourists, who pose for photos while enjoying the views.
A celebration will be planned at a later date after the project’s full completion, officials said.
Sandwich’s unique treasure was previously chosen by National Geographic as one of the top 10 boardwalks in the United States.
