The Council are working in partnership with Stena Line Port Ltd to develop a refurbishment scheme for Holyhead Breakwater. At 1.5 miles long (2,4 km), the historic Grade II* listed structure is considered the longest breakwater in Europe. A Grade II listed lighthouse is also located at the head of the breakwater.
Royal Haskoning DHV have developed a solution - however the design is still subject to refinement, particularly at the roundhead. The project is likely to be delivered in phases and potentially separate contracts.
IoACC and Stena are currently looking to gain all the necessary consents and funding.
The Council is inviting expressions of interests for the scheme construction which is likely to cost in the region of £60 million and could be programmed to straddle financial years or in phases.
Indicative timescales for the project are as follows:
- Design and consents summer 2020
- Funding applications 2020/21
- Tendering 2020
- Construction 2021-2026
Construction contractors are required to express an interest by Friday 7th February- 2020. Following this, contractors will be asked to attend an informal meeting between 18th – 20th February in Anglesey to discuss the design.
