Cumbrae Ferry Slipway accommodates lifeline ferry services to the Isle of Cumbrae from Largs Pier on the mainland. The existing slipway is nearing the end of its useable lifespan. Works will be undertaken to reconstruct the slipway to the south of the existing slipway with the reclamation of land for the construction of a new marshalling area and a new pedestrian waiting area south and north of the new slipway, respectively. The project also includes the provision of a new terminal building, staff car park, bus stop, pedestrian drop lay-by, queuing shelter with a ticket kiosk, bike storage and maintenance station and upgraded utilities and signage for the development site and on public land for adoption by the Local Authority. The new terminal building will be constructed under a separate contract however the services and building foundation form part of this contract. Additionally, the public road is being raised, and protection is being installed to construct the marshalling area over an existing incoming watermain from the mainland.
