To move equipment too heavy for the Smith Point Bridge, workers are building a temporary pier for barges on Fire Island in Shirley as part of the Sunrise Wind turbine project.
They’re getting ready to bring a 124-mile cable in from the waters off Montauk to connect the windmills to the mainland.
Work is already underway along William Floyd Parkway to accommodate the cable along its 17-mile land route to a switching station in Holtsville.
The 925-megawatt green energy effort is expected to provide electricity to 600,000 homes.
