 The final countdown at phase 4 Eastern Road has begun as we head toward our opening at the end of September (final date to be confirmed).
Once completed, the area will feature:
• Full height concrete sea wall with our special Ecoformliner texture and 138 integrated tidal pools.
• Eight rest areas with new benches, picnic tables and wayfinders.
• A new improved coastal footpath along the new seawall. The ground will be raised along the wall to keep the height at 1.2m and retain sea views for pedestrians and cyclists.
• More than 200 new trees and many areas of new grass and coastal wildflowers.
• Our new ‘bird island’, a roost island for overwintering birds. A naming competition was launched in July 2023 and attracted more than 240 entries - with Cockleshell Island named as the winner.
• Langstone Harbour View car park will be reinstated.
We'll confirm the opening date soon via this bulletin and social media.
Please note that landscaping and tree planting will be undertaken during autumn, after the site opens, so you can expect to see workers out undertaking this important work. This timing will ensure that the plants have the best chance of establishing.
