I agree with joining the thread mentioned.... and include the “Decision on Dawlish Wall....” thread as well. Brings everything together for Phase 1. Thank you to Admins for establishing the separate threads for the two Phases. |

I thought they have completed the uprights or nearly have. The curved cap is still to be fitted and infilling between old and new wall.

Hey - who was thinking they would have liked to go to Devon this Easter? You can sit and watch this and imagine you've booked a room at a sea-front guest house in Dawlish! |

The upper section seems to be progressing quite well Is that upper section going to stretch all the way along that part of the seawall (ie, between Dawlish Station and Kennaway Tunnel)? |

There is a further camera view looking towards the new wall from the opposite direction. Watching it at high tide the new wall section seems to be doing its job: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R1tU6ps_bSk |

Looks to be working well, though they'll never get it finished if work stops when waves are only gently lapping at it like that.  |
