The eco-friendly coastal reinforcement project at Monaco’s Larvotto beach has been extended by one week due to recent adverse weather conditions. Originally scheduled for completion on Wednesday 30th April, the works will now continue until Wednesday 7th May inclusive.
The ongoing project, which commenced on 2nd January, involves the removal of geotubes and the construction of eco-designed rock islands aimed at protecting the beach and stabilising the coastline. However, recent days of unsettled weather, including strong swells, have necessitated a temporary suspension of the works to ensure safety and protect the marine environment.
As a precautionary measure, swimming and diving are prohibited in designated areas until the completion of the works on 7th May. Despite the construction activities, restaurants and shops within the beach complex remain open without any restrictions.
The works are conducted daily from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm and are part of a broader initiative to enhance the beach’s resilience and ensure safe access to swimming areas.
