Several Jersey Shore beaches hit hardest by recent coastal storms — including some that remain closed — are set to be rebuilt before summer ends.

In recent weeks, federal officials finalized beach replenishment projects in Ocean City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle City and Strathmere.

The push accelerated this week when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers signed two contracts worth about $35.3 million to rebuild beaches in Ocean City, Avalon and Stone Harbor.
