Dawlish News

Please note these dates aren’t yet guaranteed and we’ll post another update on Friday, depending on progress on site.

We are busy building a walkway so that you will be able to access the beach and King's Walk promenade via the underpass when it is safe to do so.

We have finished the piling for the foundations of the new bridge that will link the two sections of public, accessible footbridge and are now working on the culvert in the stilling basin so that we can realign Dawlish Water where it runs into the sea.

While the underpass is closed, the beach and King’s Walk promenade remain open. Signs are in place to direct people via the stepped footbridge near Kennaway Tunnel at the end of Marine Parade, and advising that the beach, promenade, Coryton Cove and local businesses remain open.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding; we’re sorry for any inconvenience.
