The construction of a new sea pier, part of the Alappuzha Heritage Project, is expected to begin soon. The pier will be built parallel to the dilapidated old sea pier on the Alappuzha beach. Officials said that they were awaiting the approval of the tender acceptance committee to go ahead.
Last week, District Collector Haritha V. Kumar visited Alappuzha beach and held discussions with officials regarding the construction of the pier and other projects under the heritage project. Officials said the construction of the 350-metre-pier, including 300 metres over the sea, and 5.5 metres wide would be completed in 18 months. The project would be implemented at a cost of ₹20 crore.
