Runners, walkers, cyclists and motorised small vehicle users will be excited to find out that the boardwalk between the VMR boat ramp and Shingley Drive is due to re-open to the public this morning.
This section of the Bicentennial Boardwalk which runs five-kilometres along the coast between Airlie Beach and Cannonvale, has been closed since September for Stage 2 of the works.
Whitsunday Regional Council engaged Plants Whitsundays to complete the upgrades which will now mean the boardwalk has been widened by one-metre.
In addition, the timber surface of the structure has been replaced with a composite fibre material, which is both durable and easy to maintain.
The hardwood timber previously used for the boardwalk has been retained by Council for future projects.
The entire project has been well organised and completed on-time and within budget.
“We thank the community and local businesses for their patience while these works have been undertaken and are grateful for the hard work being put in by our contractors to have the boardwalk completed in time for the festive season,” said a Council spokesperson.
