Repairs to Railway Walk completed

Friday, 22 November 2024 11:18

More than a year since Storm Ciaran ruined the railway walk, repairs and improvements to the popular path are finally complete.

The storm of November 2023 caused widespread devastation.

Hundreds of fallen trees had to be cleared, then the entire surface from St Aubin to Corbiere reshaped and levelled.

At the same time, old chains and bollards at the crossing points have been replaced with timber designs to fit with the surroundings.

The government says the changes also improve accessibility, creating more room for double buggies and non-standard cycles.
