Updates

 

04.11.24: Construction is moving forward smoothly on the Aberystwyth Promenade project. The concrete access to the RNLI Ramp opposite Quay Street has been completed, while drainage works, electrical ducting, and foundations for new street lighting columns have begun. Kerbing along the new road edge is progressing well, and the footway between Quay Street and South Marine Terrace has been prepared for reinstatement, with kerbing integrated into the existing pathways.
 
Pavement installation between Quay Street and South Marine Terrace is nearing completion, and the increased width of the promenade is becoming evident, promising improved shared space for pedestrians and cyclists. Kerbing along South Marine Terrace continues as scheduled, and the installation of street lighting columns, along with decorative brackets from Pier Street to Castle Point, has been completed. These await the new lanterns, expected later this year. Work on drainage systems, ducting, and foundations for street lighting will also continue throughout the week.
