Weymouth’s harbourside regeneration project at North Quay is continuing to make steady progress, with the main construction phase expected to finish before the Easter holidays.
Dorset Council began improvement works on November 3 as part of a 20-week programme, with the overall project scheduled to be completed by the end of April.
The scheme aims to increase the amount of space available for pedestrians along the harbourside, while also enhancing the setting of the North Quay development site to make the area more attractive to potential developers.
The council has confirmed that the work is progressing well and remains within budget. The main construction phase is expected to be finished before Easter, with the road due to fully reopen on Good Friday, April 3.
Road surfacing work will take place at the end of March and will require three separate night-time road closures. The closures are scheduled between 8pm and 6am from Wednesday, March 25 until 6am on Saturday, March 28.
During these closures, crews will also carry out line marking and slot cutting for signal detection equipment.
Some additional elements of the project will take place after Easter, including the installation of new harbourside railings designed to match the existing ones and further work around the Trinity Road junction.
A council spokesperson said that due to the nature of the remaining activities, it is difficult to confirm exact completion dates, but the project team aims to be fully off-site before the end of April.
