Waterways Ireland has confirmed that work has been completed at Camus on the Lower Bann Navigation with installation of 20 metres of floating jetties.
The jetties which will open to the public from beginning of April 2009 will add to boaters experience of the Lower Bann in 2009. The floating jetties form part of a £194,000 programme of work which included construction of a rock armour retaining wall.
A spokesman said: "Investment by Waterways Ireland on the Lower Bann in 08/09 has reached approx £330,000. The upgrade of facilities at Camus as well as at Portglenone Wood were the two main elements of the programme."
The project has been designed and commissioned by Waterways Ireland. The works were contracted to Ward Contracts of Magherafelt. "Waterways Ireland would like to thank Coleraine Borough Council for their assistance with this project," he said.
Waterways Ireland has its flagship headquarters office at Enniskillen, overlooking Lough Erne and the scenic island town.
