1New era for Mount Batten with £4.2 million investment (P.16)
A new chapter will shortly be underway for Plymouth’s waterfront as a multi-million-pound investment is set to transform the Mount Batten Pontoon into a safer, more accessible and future-ready marine gateway.
Following the removal of the old pontoon and link bridge earlier this summer, the next phase of the project will see the construction of a state-of-the-art replacement.
This new structure will secure the long-term future of the Mount Batten Ferry and enhance access to water-based activities for residents and visitors alike through the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park partner – the Mount Batten Watersports and Activities Centre.
