To Pour Foundation of New Hotel, 400 Cement Truckloads Come to IB Sept. 14

Part of Seacoast Drive will be closed and buses will be temporarily rerouted as a result.

Cement trucks will carry 400 loads of concrete to 800 Seacoast Dr. Sept. 14 to pour 4,000 cubic yards of concrete and lay the foundation of the hotel to replace the Seacoast Inn and for the building’s underground parking garage.

An actual frame will begin to emerge at 800 Seacoast Dr. in the next two months and the 78-room, four-story is scheduled to be completed by September 2012.

Between 4:30 a.m. and 9 p.m., concrete trucks will travel down Imperial Beach Boulevard and Seacoast Drive to pour the 27-inch-thick concrete building foundation.

Trucks leaving the city will travel via two routes: north and south on Seacoast Drive and east on Imperial Beach Boulevard and Palm Avenue.

As a result, parking at Dunes Park will be closed in order to stage the concrete pumping station and concrete trucks. During the concrete pour, Seacoast Drive will be closed between Daisy Avenue and Elm Avenue and bus and vehicular traffic will be rerouted to Second Street around this segment of Seacoast Drive on Sept. 13 and Sept. 14.
