5 years later Tel Aviv promenade upgrade finalized

Started more than 5 years ago, the renovation of the Tayelet in Tel Aviv has now finally reached the southern part of the city, across from the Royal Beach hotel. With the removal of  the old Dolphinarium having finally started last month, it's now a question of months until the promenade upgrade is now fully completed, allowing tourists and residents alike to stroll along the sea from Bat Yam all the way to Herzliya.

Since its inception in the late 1930’s, the central promenade of Tel Aviv played a key role in establishing the ever-changing connection between the city and its shore. In all of the various phases of its life, whether the modest walkway of the 1930’s, the neglected site of the 1960’s, or the renovated version of the 1980’s, the elevated boardwalk acted as a border that blocked the natural pedestrian flow between the city and its beach. The renovation project aimed to transform this historical blockade by creating a new continuous interface that enables free pedestrian flow to and from the sandy beach, throughout the city’s central waterfront. Moreover, serving as the main waterfront public space of the entire metropolitan area, the new promenade and its sitting-terraces was designed to offer a generous array of seats and relaxation opportunities along the seafront, in order to host great many new visitors, and create a hospitable and lively public domain for this large dense urban area.

The new Tel Aviv Tayelet is coming

Work on the new Tayelet in Tel Aviv has just started. The major upgrade that has been in the pipe for a couple of years now and whose objective is to make the beach promenade more attractive and in line with the upgraded Tel Aviv Port (Namal) is now in motion. You can find below images of the works as well as some renders of the expected result.

Enjoy!
