Hurricane causes $20M damage to Port of Long Beach breakwater
A breakwater protecting the Port of Long Beach will need about $20 million in emergency repairs after heavy swells in August from Hurricane Marie cause substantial damage, including dozens of breaches, according to officials.
Eleven of the breaches along the 18,500-foot-long Middle Breakwater, which is one of three that protect the Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, are considered "major" and total an estimated 1,550 feet, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
