From Summer 2024, the team has been breaking out the concrete working platform so that we can gradually remove the cofferdam. The cofferdam was the temporary area of land that was built out into the river so that we could build the structures below ground. The team has been removing the fill material beneath the concrete and taking this away by barge. This reduces lorry movements around the site. We are also installing the new panels that will make up the permanent river wall.

From Spring 2025 the team have been removing the sheet piles that formed the cofferdam. More information on these activities and the Independent Compensation Panel process is available here (updated February 2025).

Outside of the site, you may notice changes to our site hoarding. We are currently removing the artwork panels. More information is available here.
