Seating and memorials have all been placed along the new-look promenade, being created in the area between Hovertravel and the Blue Reef, and will link up with the existing promenade at a new community area called Serpentine Square.
The initial works have been carried out by the Southsea Coastal Scheme team to create the new one-way road, as well as the cycle lane and parking bays, with the area set to be open to the public next year. Patches of grass are also visible on the new embankment to the north of the site.

Kerbs have been placed and work ongoing to prepare the surface for a new 3m wide two-way cycle lane in front of Southsea Common. The photo shows the first layer and the final product will be buff coloured to fit in with the rest of the scheme. The cycle lane will be segregated from car parking by a 2m buffer strip, allowing drivers to safely leave their vehicles when they park. | The News
