The third phase of coastal protection works is
underway at Broughty Ferry Esplanade, which will provide coastal protection and
flood protection following the erosion of significant quantities of dune and
beach material. It is completing the
rock armour revetment works between those previously constructed opposite the
Glass Pavilion and at Bridge Street. I am advised by the city engineer that the
rock armouring works will be the same profile and size of stone as the
existing.
Similar works will also be done at the Bridge Street end for about 50
metres east of the existing rock armour revetment where erosion has taken
place. A set of concrete steps will be built at the east end of the existing
Glass Pavilion rock armour revetment where the new works will tie in. The
existing vehicular access track to the beach at the playing fields will also be
the location for a new vehicular access ramp.
The cost of the work is £1m and is expected to be completed by September.
