Sunrise Wind to build temporary piers at Smith Point County Park
Sunrise Wind this week began construction of temporary piers at Smith Point County Park as part of an effort to ferry materials across the water to complete a 17.5-mile cable for the offshore wind farm.
Construction is expected to take about a month, said Sunrise Wind’s developer, Orsted of Denmark, in a weekly bulletin. The cable for the project will make landfall at Smith Point and continue up the William Floyd Parkway, eventually to the Long Island Expressway and a new cable receiver station in Holbrook.
