DOI to launch procurement process shortly
The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed restoration works at Tramway Terrace on Douglas Promenade are to resume.
The work will involve essential structural improvements and the installation of a replacement roof.
A procurement process will commence shortly to appoint a suitable design team to manage the scheme.
The terrace, which is a registered building, had it seemed been destined for demolition after an initial independent structural report.
But it was given new hope when a later expert survey by an accredited conservation engineer concluded there were localised areas requiring urgent work, but the building was repairable.
Since then little has changed.
The scaffolding has remained in place to support the remaining frontage of the building.
News that work on the terrace is to resume will be welcomed by conservationists.
