The Lifting Wave - Esplanade, Dover, Kent. - Coastal Boardwalks on Waymarking.com

Opened in November 2010 as part of the £2 million Three Waves project, The Lifting Wave walkway is a made up from a series of pre formed sculptured ramps and stairs that rise and fall along the Esplanade between the new Water Sports Centre and a tunnel under the busy A20 dual carriageway,  linking the seafront area with the town centre.

Designed by architect Tonkin Liu the project is in the form of 3 waves. Beside the Lifting Wave walkway is the Resting Wave, a sculptured retaining wall providing sheltered spaces along the Esplanade with seating. The 3rd Wave is Lighting Wave. A line of tall, white columns with lighting that can be controlled to create a wave movement along the length of the Esplanade.
