Earthmovers and heavy machinery will dot the landscape for the next year from Blue Lagoon up to Country Club Beach as the second phase of the Beachfront upgrade takes place. This follows the massive upgrade of the beachfront up to Ushaka Beach that the Municipality had undertaken in 2010.<\/p>\n
Contractors, Vumani Civils, have been appointed and began work in the area on Monday, 12 March 2012.<\/p>\n
The upgrade will cost in the region of R80m, and will entail the extension of the promenade all the way to the Blue Lagoon, new parking areas, landscaping, improved street lighting, street furniture and paving. The upgrade will also bring new braai facilities, and new paddling pools at Blue Lagoon. The Municipality also plans to rehabilitate the dunes.<\/p>\n
The Municipality would like to appeal to the public for patience during the construction phase. The aim is to create a beachfront with better facilities where all citizens of eThekwini could safely enjoy the amenities our coastline has to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
