A183 Coast Road realignment

Overview

In May 2019, studies highlighted certain locations of the A183 Coast Road would likely be compromised at some point in the near future. This is due to the ongoing erosion of the cliff face and the creation of cave formations.

Because of this, we are moving the road away from the clifftop at its closest point.

Construction work started late November 2022 and is due to end in summer 2023.

It is forecast that by doing this work it will extend the lifespan of the coastal route by around 50 years.
