What’s happened
We have completed the placing of fill material to the north of Stupp Pill outfall. At Holes Mouth we have continued the construction of the maintenance access ramp and steps.
South of Holes Mouth we have successfully completed the removal and disposal of Japanese Knotweed. This has allowed us to begin the next section of earth flood embankment.
At Kings Weston Outfall we have installed new flap valves. We have also started placing rock armour to protect the structure and are constructing a new maintenance access ramp and steps to improve access. Along the bank of the River Avon, we have completed the installation of the sheet piled and precast concrete flood defence walls and progressed the backfill on both faces of the flood defence wall. We have constructed a pedestrian maintenance access strip next to the wall.
Along Port Road, which is next to the Severn Estuary and north of Kings Weston Outfall, we have constructed a temporary diversion road and installed a temporary flood defence. This has allowed us to start removing the existing flood defence wall in this area.
