Works Ongoing At Għar Lapsi After Storm Harry Damages

Is-Servizz Pubbliku shared a photo update of the ongoing works at Għar Lapsi, as the bay undergoes restoration following damages sustained during Storm Harry.

The beach was battered and heavily damaged by the January storm, with the public services launching works to make sure the bay will welcome beachgoers once reopened.

The regeneration of Għar Lapsi will be carried out in three phases, Minister for Local Government and Public Works Alison Zerafa Civelli said in a parliamentary reply back in July, outlining the works planned to improve the popular coastal site and enhance public safety.

The first phase includes repairs to the existing slipway, the construction of a new staircase providing access to the bay, and the rebuilding of a jetty for swimmers.

According to the Minister, Public Works Department employees are already carrying out the works, with the final layer of concrete currently being laid on the slipway while the new staircase is under construction.

The second phase will focus on the reconstruction of the landing stage at the nearby bay known as Għar Miżun. Large boulders, sourced from the same bay, will also be positioned to protect the structure from wave action.
