Repair work on damaged sea wall at Greenhill set for next week

Work to repair part of the sea wall in Weymouth will get underway next week, Dorset Council said.

According to the latest project update, they are about to begin repairs to the damaged sea wall along Weymouth beach at Greenhill with the work expected to last just over a month.

The work involves removing the temporary fixes installed when the wall first failed and rebuilding a stronger, more durable permanent wall which will match the original, the Council said.

“The work should take about five weeks, depending on the weather. People will still be able to walk along the prom but the access will be narrowed and part of the beach where the engineers will be working will be closed,” a spokesperson for Dorset Council added.

The work is set to begin on Monday, January 13.
