Work has been completed to construct a small craft harbour with double lock to guarantee transit of a large number of fishing vessels when the gates are in operation.
The sea-side basin has been temporarily drained and sealed for use as a construction site to fabricate the gate housing structures, as for the Lido north inlet barrier.
Positioning for the gate housing structures was completed in October 2014.
In the inlet channel, the seabed in the area where the 18 gates will be installed has been reinforced.
Outside the inlet, a  long curved breakwater has been completed.
