On the job at sunrise

Workers on the Anna Maria City Pier are silhouetted by the March 9 sunrise. The week ending March 29, Tampa Bay Marine continued work to rebuild the walkway to the T-end. New slabs were laid to cap off and connect the bents poured between each pair of pilings to form a foundation for future decking. The walkway was destroyed in 2024, when the island was hit with hurricanes Helene and Milton. Islander Photo: Courtesy Angie Blunt/bluntphotographic.com
