GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) - The Gulf State Park pier will reopen in
its entirety on Wednesday.
The pier opened in July as the largest one on the Gulf of
Mexico.
A portion of the 1,540 foot long pier was damaged during
Tropical Storm Ida on Nov. 9th and 10th. Part of it reopened Nov.
13th but a large, octagonal-area and the coinciding end portion of
the pier remained closed for repairs until Wednesday.
Having the entire pier open gives fishermen the ability to reach
fish in deeper water. The pier was inspected both above and
underwater before the reopening.
