Feds Fund Upgrades for Conception Bay’s Breakwater
The Long Pond breakwater will be upgraded and fortified after an investment of over $14 million from the federal government and the Town of Conception Bay South.
The funding announced today by Paul Connors, Member of Parliament for Avalon, and Darrin Bent, Mayor of Conception Bay South, will use armour stone to fortify a 1500 meter stretch of the natural breakwater that protects Long Pond. These upgrades will be built to withstand a 100-year storm and will be resilient to sea level rise and coastal erosion.
Once completed, this project will make Conception Bay South more resilient for all residents by protecting their homes, businesses, and essential services.
