Despite the stop-start nature of construction due to COVID-19 restrictions, shoreward photography taken at the weekend of the new Dun Laoghaire Baths shows that significant progress has been made in all areas of the flagship project for Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
Overall progress is slower than anticipated meaning the project that began three years ago will not now likely be completed until Summer 2022, two years later than planned.
New windows are now in place in the refurbished Pavillion building
The scheme to revive the old baths that lay derelict for over 30 years is divided into several work zones.
As our photos show, these zones include work to the new jetty, works to the new sea walls, works to the Pavilion and works to tie into the existing walkway at Newtownsmith.
The new sea walls are substantial
Currently works to the new jetty are nearing completion as Afloat's photos taken from the sea side reveal with a plinth in place ready for the statue of Roger Casement to arrive on site.
