The fried shrimp and the hamburger steak are the untouchables as far as I'm concerned! Will be there again this coming week…I'll report any changes I see.

Update- Landscaping has begun and the road has been resurfaced and striped. Anytime know what is happening on the ACND land?

Always been perplexed by that piece of land. Do something with it! Someone!

I do know that blue house backed up against the road there (to the right of that tractor outside of your picture frame) was for sale. I have no idea if that was privately owned or what.

The north portion is privately held and and the south is owned by the ACND. Something will happen one day for sure as it is prime real estate.

Bridge and dredge work from earlier today. Beautiful day to be on the water!

Boat clearance is much lower than the old bridge, right?
drmwvr

AG
It's higher than the old bridge for sure. However, I doubt I'll be able to clear it with my fixed t-top. Couldn't get close enough to know for sure due the the yellow float barrier but it didn't pass the eyeball test. Also, as I'm sure you know, the water is a foot or so low due to the winter weather so it will have less clearance during most of the year.

Not bridge related but since the forum is slow recently, I thought I would share some work happening on the little bay south jetties. Much needed work to help stem erosion from the predominant SE wind!

Do we know when they are going to build the bird sanctuary in Aransas Bay off east side of KA?

I believe I read that the spoil material was going to come from the KA canal dredging project (or a portion of). Not sure of the schedule of that work. Perhaps the jetty work is the first phase? The yearly HOA meeting is this coming Saturday so looking to get more info then.

The jetty repairs aren't related. Just a stand-alone project using what little funding is available to repair what can be repaired.

Huge controlled burn (?) today on 35 between Tivoli and Lamar (on way to RP). On the other side of the road from the wildlife refuge.

That has been "prime real estate" since the 1970s.
Yeah, really odd no one developed anything there.

It sure does look like there is some sort of new development going on with the ACND land? Last time I went by there was new signage and it looked like the mowdy rental boats were not there. You hear anything?

Murmurs I have heard is that it will be a dry stack one day.

After driving by today, it appears that the ACND is placing dredging spoils on the land they own. They are cleaning up some of the channels and canals. You can see the dredging barge in these photos.

Key Allegro bridge related because with the bridge complete, long overdue revetment work can begin on the south east side of the island.

When does that new bird sanctuary island get built?

I would be surprised to ever see that built TBH

I look at those pictures I don't see the cranes and can only think "I hope I was on the water that day". Bay is amazingly calm in that pic and weather has been great.

They were moving a lot of stone/rocks when I have been there. This might have been crawfish fest weekend which was WAY bigger than I was anticipating and Oysterfest crawfish fest could probably be a thread on its own.

YB- no telling what you wanted to say but I'll answer- You Bet!

Ha. I hit Post by accident without saying anything. My only issue on this work is what happens to the ground after they are done. They have pallets down for the tractors to sit on but the ground has been murdered. I assume they are going to put grass down or do some level of repair after they are done. Can't imagine that's not in the plan.

Ate at KAYC tonight. God almighty they raised prices in the last week or two. Steaks are $65. Fish is all minimum $45 if you get any kind of add on.

Cup of gumbo price went up 50%. WTH?

We don't go nearly as often due to a variety of things….price being only one of them.

Wife informed me they have also implemented a $25 charge per head if you don't cancel your reservation at least 24 hours out.

I've eaten at five star restaurants that weren't that aggressive.

I told my bunch that this isn't River Oaks, Highland Park or Alamo Heights….its Rockport, Tx. Not caring for the attitude there.
