A bit of ”cosmetic surgery” for Pag’s main waterfront (riva) as the reconstruction and upgrading of this heavily frequented area gives the town and the island a breath of new life.
As Novac/Jutarnji writes on the 19th of May, 2019, in approximately twenty days, the reconstruction and upgrading of the popular island’s main waterfront with a small harbour in the town of Pag, ”Katina”, will finally be completed, and then that part of the coastline in Pag will be ”released” for general use in its brand new, done up and completely revised edition.
In the reconstruction of Katina harbour, the Zadar Port Authority, with partial support from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure headed by Oleg Butković, and Zadar County, invested a massive 5.8 million kuna, and the necessary works were executed by the Zagreb-based company PGP.
The aforementioned works saw the deepening of the bay area in front of Katina, an important coastal wall was properly repaired and two 50 and 80 metre-long pontoons were erected, which resulted in one hundred new berths for boats, according to a report from Zadarski.hr.
At the celebration of the Day of the City of Pag which took place on Friday, the project was presented to the participants of Pag’s annual celebration, including to the minister of the competent Ministry, Oleg Butković. Pag riva’s new look was presented by Davor Škibola, the director of the Zadar County Port Authority which, as mentioned, was among the investors.
On this occasion, Minister Butković referred to this particular port authority as “the best in Croatia” primarily because of the number of projects it has accomplished or performed in the port areas it manages.
