“We are going to work quickly to get it fixed,” City Manager Jason McHugh said on Monday night when he told members of the Wildwood Commission that the boat ramp would be closed until further notice.

A crew was already working at the boat ramp on Tuesday morning.

During Monday’s commission meeting, McHugh warned the commissioners that the repair costs could be “substantial.”

He said an estimate of the costs should be ready by the commission’s June 12 meeting.
