The Montserrat Port Development Project team has released updated renderings of what the completed pier at Little Bay will look like.
The images were sent to media following the latest town hall meeting on the project which took place at St Peter’s Anglican Church hall on 9 May.
The groundbreaking at the site of the £35.4 million (EC$120 million) Montserrat Port Development Project took place nearly two years ago in June 2022.
The project is being financed jointly by the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Fund and the European Development Fund.
Planned infrastructure works include the construction of an offshore jetty, new access road, dredging works and slope stabilisation.
In March, the team announced the transport of 320 caissons from the manufacturing site in Piper’s Pond to the site of the new pier in Little Bay. It warned road-users to be cautious.
In February, Deputy Premier Samuel Joseph said following several extensions to the development timeline, the new completion date is 9 May.
The Port Authority was relocated to Little Bay from the former capital Plymouth in June 1997 after volcanic activity destroyed the port.
Montserrat Focus will cover the town hall meeting in full in a subsequent article.
