Development of Bantry Bay Harbour to Start
#BantryUpgrade - An upgrade costing €8.5m to the main harbour in Bantry Bay writes the Irish Examiner is expected to get underway later this month.
The long-awaited project at the port (see 2015 figures) will provide a huge boost to tourism and marine industries in the West Cork town.
BAM Civil Ltd was yesterday appointed main contractor for phase one of the the inner harbour development.
It involves the creation of a 20-berth marina on quayside pontoons, plus dredging to a depth of 4m, which will allow vessels access the inner harbour in all tidal conditions.
The main pier is to be widened and extended while a 4,000sq m public recreational amenity will be created from reclaiming land adjacent to the railway pier, also in the inner harbour.
