The new Naples Pier is under constuction after a formal groundbreaking Jan. 5.
How will the new pier be different than the old one? It will be supported by larger pilings, with diameters of 18 inches as opposed to the previous 14 inches, and it will be 3 feet higher than before.
The existing pier will be demolished. It was badly damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022.
Renderings and a video, provided by the city of Naples show what the new pier will look like.
The new pier will be built stronger and more resilient to future storms, with an accessible design and features to protect local wildlife.
