Work has already begun to stabilize the wall at Moledo beach, in Caminha, after the structure collapsed during the stormy season.
The wall ended collapse with the force of waterleaving a trail of destruction.
“The sea ended up taking much of the sand from the beach and [o paredão] Its foundations were completely exposed, ending up collapsing,” the mayor of Caminha, Liliana Silva, explained to SIC.
The work to stabilize the foundations, as a matter of urgency, has already begun. It will last a month and will be ready in time for swimming season. Until then, the area will remain closed.
This is just the first intervention of a larger and deeper intervention that should only begin at the end of summer.
“We are going to carry out a diagnosis of the area where the wall collapsed further south, see exactly what the condition of the wall is and then carry out a more definitive intervention”, informed José Pimenta Machado, president of the Portuguese Environment Agency.
Nonetheless, a competition will be launched for the workwhich should cost between 3 and 4 million euros.
