The sea wall at Dawlish was breached by a storm in February 2014. As part of the repairs it has been decided to raise the level of the footpath to give better protection from the sea. Pre-cast panels have been installed along most of the section but the large wave is breaking at the current (March 2015) southern extent. The remainder will be raised before the footpath is reopened later in the year.
