  From Dover Harbour Board
  
  
  Dear valued stakeholders
  
  As work on the Dover Western Docks Revival (DWDR) development continues to make progress, the next phase of the work requires an increasing amount of land-based construction.
  
  This will result in increased deliveries of concrete to the DWDR site entrance via Union Street with the necessity to conduct a 24-hr concrete pour on Tuesday 8th May with a further one planned towards the latter part of the week commencing 14th May.
  
  This will consist of continuous movement of concrete delivery vehicles using Union Street starting from 3am and finishing around midnight the following day.
  
  It is essential this work is a continuous operation and we request that you take extra care when accessing and egressing Union Street and the Marina car park.
  
  Pedestrian access to the Esplanade will remain open at all times and we remind pedestrians to proceed with care at all times.
  
  We appreciate your continued patience and support during this exciting waterfront regeneration and will keep you further updated at each construction phase of DWDR.
  
  If you have any questions or concerns about; please contact me at DWDR@doverport.co.uk.
  Yours Faithfully
  
  Chris Talbot
  DWDR Communications Manager

  Casting my mind back the original drawing of the new pier showed a shelter at the end with seats but nothing along the sides. With no café and no angling it's hardly a replacement for the old one.

  
  
  It was never meant to Howard replace anything really but create what they want no less for more money I suspect.

  Anyone know why a Dutch-flagged dredger should be named ‘Saucepan 2’ in the Welsh language?

  Precast concrete block that make up the new Marina Pier are 'barged' around to the Outer Harbour in readiness for craning into position
  
  

  

  
  
  These flatter sections will eventually form the top part of the pier
  

  

  
  
  Work has started on the diamond shaped end to the pier
  

  

  
  
  There is a Youtube video of the precast concrete blocks being transported to Belfast Docks and loaded into the hold of the ship for transportation to Dover. The odd shaped sections appear to be for the 'diamond' end to the pier
