As we’ve previously reported, the construction of the new docks at the Dominče ferry port have started earlier this autumn, and the main investor County Port Authority for Korčula took to their Facebook page to inform the interested public that the work is going along nicely, sharing with us some very interesting photos.
The photos show the current situation on the construction site at Dominče, and we see that the excavations of the sea floor are currently taking place, which will allow for the docking of larger boats. What you can also see is how important the no-parking rule at the location of the works was, as on the photos you can see that some of the parking places have been almost completely destroyed by the excavations.
It’s interesting to see how such works are actually performed, with what appears to be a regular excavator sitting on the barge, which allows it to reach all the way to the bottom and get the excess soil out – which is then deposited on the other side of the ferry docks, where it will appearently be used for some other purpose.
The project is divided into two phases, with the completion of the first phase planned for the end of this year. The second phase is supposed to be finished by the beginning of the next tourist season, when first boats are expected to be docked at the newly built docks at Dominče. Let’s hope all works continue to proceed as planned!
