The trucks are rolling, and the sand is coming to Collier County beaches by the ton. Trucks began hauling sand on Thursday to build an emergency berm on Collier County beaches.

The drivers will work 12-hour shifts from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. WINK News spoke with beachgoers about their thoughts on the truck traffic for the beach berm project. “It’s good, it’s supposed to protect the shoreline.
