The Stanley Park seawall has finally reopened, almost four months after ultra high tides, extreme winds and a storm surge severely damaged the popular Vancouver walkway.

The Vancouver park board says the 3.5 kilometre stretch of seawall between Second Beach and Lions Gate Bridge was damaged January 7th and reopened today.

The board says lock blocks have been used to prevent further erosion and rebuild parts of the damaged walls along sections where the old structure collapsed.

A statement from the board says stonemasons have been working to rebuild the stone work, crews have added new capstones along with reinforced concrete to strengthen the surface and other sections have been repaved with asphalt to ensure the entire route is accessible to everyone.
