Coastal Pathway Almost Ready for Resurfacing and its Temporary Closure on Friday and Saturday Morning

Coastal pathway almost ready for final surfacing last night

The concrete has been laid and the new blue railings have been erected on the section of the coastal walkway between Grassy Beach and Douglas Terrace. The final major job of the upgrading of this section of the pathway is laying a smooth tarmac finish.

To give Kilmac, the contractors, a clear run at the final surfacing work, the coastal pathway will be closed for today, Friday and up to half of Saturday. A temporary diversion is in place during this period making use of Beach Lane and the footbridge over the railway.

Bearing in mind the comprehensiveness of the upgrading work, which has extended the width of the pathway by 50%, I think the contractors deserve to be congratulated for managing to minimise the number of days they have had to restrict public access to the pathway as they have carried out their work.
