Public Notice-Caladh Avenue Project

Details
Published: Tuesday, 19 May 2026 12:14
As work progresses along Caladh Avenue and installation of the new boardwalk and multi-use pathway begins, items located within active construction areas will need to be temporarily removed.

On Tuesday, the three large stone monuments honouring the Ship Hector, along with the cannon and benches, will be relocated until the project is completed. We would like to assure the public that these items will be returned to the waterfront once construction is finished. As part of the project, a new base will also be installed for the monument stones.

Work is anticipated to continue through the spring with the goal of reopening the street by the end of June as to not impact the peak tourism season.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as these exciting waterfront improvements along Caladh Avenue continue.

This important infrastructure project, which began in Fall 2025, plays a key role in strengthening coastal protection and helping safeguard the shoreline and surrounding area for the future. Work is anticipated to continue through the spring, with the goal of reopening the street for the summer season.

Project updates will be shared as work progresses. We thank residents, businesses, and visitors for their patience, cooperation, and understanding during this time.
