Pier at Records Pond in Laurel to Remain Closed Until Nov. 27
Pier Repair Project Extended

DNREC’s Division of Fish and Wildlife announced today that the handicapped pier at Records Pond and the adjoining parking lot at the corner of Front and Willow Street in Laurel will remain closed until Thursday, Nov. 27. The pier is being repaired by adding new decking, benches, and handrails.

“Repair work has taken longer than we anticipated,” said Rob Gano, project manager with the Division of Fish and Wildlife. “Several days of inclement weather have slowed our progress. When we complete the repairs, the pier will be safe for anglers and the public to enjoy.”
