Closer view of the extensive work in Rua 5 de Outubro. The work in Bar Street is complete but there are still one or two piles of material in Avenida 25 de Abril.

Thank you once more.

I don't often walk home this way so a chance to get a high level view of the work along Rua 5 de Outubro.

Hopefully bar street will no longer stink of urine anymore .... it’s beyond me how anyone can sit outside any of the bars, and eat food and sup there, when it smells like public urinals, have to hold my breath when I walk through 🤷‍♂️😜

The work in 'Bar Street' is ongoing, no doubt the council are taking advantage of there being no tourists and everywhere closed.

Granfinus is open as they have doors on the other side, but as you say the others are all inaccessible. Better than being flooded I suppose.

The green ducts are for the fibre-optic telecoms cables now being laid all over town.

Bar Street dug up again!?!? 
I bet the retailers down there are well chuffed even if we aren’t into tourist season yet.

That lot above is still not quite finished!

A long trench has appeared in 'Bar Street'.

Looks like they are now putting the 'lid' onto the huge chamber excavated by the pier.






The earler stages of construction revealed some of the old layers dating back perhaps to the time when this was the river.

Better ones of the plans, very large originals, click thumbnails below to view. Phase 2 shows works along 'Bar Street' and that side of the square, in yellow. That is the lowest area of the town and most prone to flooding.

Yes I read of a substantial cash input from central government after the floods a couple of years ago and those very destructive events in 2015.

The whole project is costing around €4 million and will take another two years to complete.

Looks like they mean business. It's going to be expensive. Has there been money from central government?
