Annapolis Initiates Construction on ADA-Compliant Floating Dock to Enhance Accessibility
Annapolis, Maryland, has commenced construction on a new floating dock that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Eastport Floating Dock, located at the end of 6th Street on the Back Creek side, is expected to be completed in three weeks. This project, costing $440,000, is funded by a $350,000 grant from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources State Waterway Improvement program, $65,000 in Annapolis bonds, and $25,000 in capital reserves. The new dock will join two other ADA-compliant floating piers and marinas in Annapolis, including the Annapolis Adaptive Boating Center, which features accessible boarding equipment. This development is part of a broader effort by Anne Arundel County to expand public access to boat ramps, following the closure and reopening of the Discovery Village ramp.
