Damaged Section of St. John’s Boardwalk Repaired Following Recent Collapse Incident
Repair works have been completed on the section of the waterfront boardwalk that collapsed earlier this month, restoring safe access between Redcliffe Quay and Heritage Quay in time for the continued surge in cruise arrivals.
The collapse, which occurred on a high-traffic cruise day, caused alarm among vendors, visitors, and business operators in the area.
Following the incident, Port Manager Darwin Telemaque and other officials pledged swift action to prevent prolonged disruption in one of the most visited parts of the capital.
Water taxis were temporarily relocated to the Montserrat Ferry Terminal to ease congestion and reduce pressure on the weakened section.
