Morning sunlight catches the sand discharge from dredger 'BARENT ZANEN' into the infill area alongside the Prince of Wales Pier.

Patrick thank you so much for all the pictures that you post, they really help those of us who are unable to visit to keep up to date on the progress of the work.

The sand infill into the reclaim area in the outer harbour alongside the Prince of Wales is growing slowly into a 'beach'. The twice daily runs by the sand dredger 'Barent Zanen' from the Thames grounds to Dover has stopped at present as it has been dredging at Felixstowe for the past week.

Patrick, whats the 'cut'? Is it going to be an access for boats or similar? Just wondering what its for.

It'll be the marine access to/egress from the Welly dock - complete with bridge.

LJ - as Button says, the Wellington Navigation Channel, that incorporates the new lock, will be the only route into and out of the Wellington Dock.
The existing lock and swing bridge will disappear, as will all of the inner Harbour up to the Dunkirk Jetty and the Granville Dock that will both be filled in as part of the DWDR project. No doubt done in stages as the first priority with be putting the two cargo berths into operation.

Will there be a walkway or passage which will join the Cruise Terminal side.
To the Bridge onto the Sea-front?
Thus making access quicker. Rather, than having to trog along Limkiln Street/Elizabeth Street and Viaduct Road..down to the Cruise Terminal etc. Or visa versa.
Many of the Cruise Passengers, have asked for this. Making their lives more pleasant if they wish to walk to the Sea-front and/or Town etc.

Christine, I'm sure I saw drawings of a walkway from the cruise terminals through to De Bradlei area etc. as part of DHB redevelopment plans, wherever they are now whilst we await decisions on Goodwins Sands.

#193 I think Paul might be mistaken Christine, from this image I think any direct access would be a security and safety nightmare through the middle of a cargo handling zone. It will be as is ,out to limekiln st and down to union st.

The images on the DWDR website show a more direct road (with pavement) from the cruise terminal to the seafront:

To add to the above DWDR Representation images. The proposed road along the seafront extends as far as the Cruise Terminal passing the Clock Tower. The road bridge across the Lock has pedestrian walkways on either side that continue towards the Cruise Terminal. If built as described there should be easy pedestrian access all the way.

A local resident asks the following:-
a) Did DHB do wave modelling and if so was it correct.
b) If so how can we trust the waved modelling re; the dredging and effect on coastal erosion?
c) If they didn't do wave modelling to see the impact the Marina Curve would have this would amount to negligence.

Some serious shingle-flattening action was going on this morning. As a consequence, the beach contours shown in the photos in post #200 have changed rather dramatically:
Whether or not this is related to the questions posed in #201 I've no idea.

It's been on TV with the large scale modelling of the harbour since the development was proposed
