正文(英文) | Exmouth tidal defence scheme construction pauses for summer seasonThe re-opening of the sea front road today marks a major milestone in the construction of the £12m Exmouth tidal defence scheme. The Environment Agency has removed most of the construction areas from the town and the road along the seafront is now open. The Environment Agency’s schedule includes a summer break to protect tourism in the area. Work on the project, which was identified by government as critical infrastructure, has continued in line with the government’s coronavirus (COVID-19) advice with measures in place to ensure social distancing and safe working procedures on site. This has allowed the team to reach this milestone as planned. Once complete in 2021, the scheme will reduce the risk of tidal flooding to over 1,400 residential and 400 commercial properties. Construction work started in June 2019 and covers 3 distinct areas:
Environment Agency Flood Manager, Ben Johnstone said:
East Devon District Council is also contributing to the project, and will maintain the defences built on council-owned land in the future. Cllr Geoff Jung, Coast, Countryside and Environment Portfolio Holder for East Devon District Council, said:
Exmouth Town ward members for the district council, Cllr Olly Davey, Cllr Joe Whibley and Cllr Eileen Wragg said:
When the Environment Agency contractors, Kier, return to site later in the year they will start at Alexandra Terrace junction with associated highways improvements, floodgate installation, landscaping and planting. The whole project is due for completion in 2021.
