I know the stripes have been painted on the asphalt entrance and the parking lot seems to be done. Just waiting for that last section. The two barges working on the pier harbor in Perdido Pass and have to make the long journey around to the pier it seems daily. The gulf was kicked up from the wind this weekend and I didn't see any work going on. No lights have been on at night anywhere. More updates as things happen.

Not sure if these have been on but it is the first time I have noticed them. The lamps going out the pier were not on. Entrance looks ready, wind was howlin' today and probably will be for a while.

From another source, no guarantee is made on the reliability of this info, sounds informed though: "The contractor is back to where they were prior to the two storms last year. It's taken a while due to high winds and surf. Now they need to put in approx. 24 pilings to complete the last section, top them off and build the shelters on the end. There is still no projected completion date due to the inability to predict weather conditions. It is hoped to have the pier turned over to the park by June but as I tell everybody, "it will be finished when they get done!"
