EXTENSION OF COASTAL PROMENADE LINKING MACAO SCIENCE CENTER TO BARRA IN DESIGN STAGE

THE next phase of the project that aims to create a coastal promenade linking the Macao Science Center to Barra, passing through the Macau Tower, is currently undergoing its design stage, namely the section that links the Kun Iam Statue to the Macau Tower, the Member of the Administration Board of the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM), Isabel Celeste Jorge said in response to a media inquiry on the sidelines of the press conference that presented the “Star on Coast” area.

Without disclosing any further details of the project, the official noted that a final proposal would be presented by the end of this year.

The topic of this section of the promenade has been raised on several occasions after being first presented during the first policy address by the government of Ho Iat Seng.

In late November 2022, during a meeting of IAM’S Municipal Affairs Advisory Committee,

Lo Chi Kin, vice president of the IAM’S Administration Committee said that the design for the promenade section was ready but could only be unveiled this year, the same year when construction should start, being partially complete by 2024 and fully complete by 2025.

Taking into account the information announced yesterday by Jorge, the project seems to have been delayed, with the official saying that the final proposal will only be made at the end of this year, that is, a potential construction start would necessarily be postponed to 2024.

The same municipal affairs official said that the promenade will include facilities such as ball grounds, a skateboarding park, and a cycling track, among others.
