Work to protect a historic stretch of England’s coastline is on target to be completed on budget and on time, in a little over 12 months. Mowlem Construction is currently building the 250m seawall and two new jetties to provide both coastal protection and better access to the sea as part of a two-year, £16M project to safeguard Lyme Regis’s foreshore. Once the structures are complete, around 112,000t of sand and shingle – from France and the Isle of Wight – will be brought in to replenish the beach. The scheme to combat destructive erosion and landslides also includes work to stabilise the coastal Cobb Road.
