The beaches in Navodari, Mamaia Nord and Mamaia Centru will not be ready before July 1, 2021. The announcement is official and was made by the Dobrogea Litoral Water Basin Administration . Since the reception of the beach sectors will be on 01.07.2021, don't be surprised that in the first two weeks of July we will have construction sites on the beaches in Mamaia and Navodari. Let's see how this situation that triggered the chaos came about.
First blockage: 40 beach bars left on the beach
Since the end of last year, the Dobrogea Litoral Water Basin Administration has started the second major beach expansion project. The total value of the project to expand and protect beaches on the Romanian coast exceeds 840 million euros, and most of the funding comes from the European Union. The Romanian state contributes 15% of the total amount and gains over 220 new hectares of land. And the first months of 2021 brought other good news: the Mamaia resort gained no less than 3000 new meters of beach in eight weeks. But as miracles don't last long in Romania , in February 2021 the first blockages appeared. The Dutch builder announced to the authorities that it could not complete the sanding works due to the beach bars left on the beach. In Mamaia, in the area targeted by the expansion, over 160 beach bars were operating. 120 were dismantled, but 40 remained in place. These 40 wooden structures (at least they should be made of wood, although there are some where cement was the best friend) reached a level difference of -3 meters. Yes, minus!
The DNA Constanța file regarding the archaeological discharge from the area from which the sand is extracted
At the end of February 2021, a new delay comes. DNA Constanța opens a criminal case in rem to verify how the Ministry of Culture approved the archaeological dump for the widening of the beaches, in the second phase of the project, worth over 750 million euros. Initially, it was thought that it was about several ancient coins.
Then, the people at info-sud-est.ro announce that it is actually a wreck.
Another two weeks pass in which the perimeter from which the sand was extracted becomes a FORBIDDEN ZONE, and the Dutch bring raw material from other places further away. The days of delay continue to add up!
Hurry slowly! The beach is only ready in July! Until then, enjoy the towel!
And then comes Monday, April 5, 2021, when the holders of the leases of the beach sectors get the kick under the belt.
The Water Basin Administration announces to economic agents that the beaches will be handed over on 01.07.2021. What this means! No one is allowed to arrange anything until that date! At least if he doesn't want to break the law! In other words, at least until another decision by the authorities, until the beginning of July, from the Royal Walkway in Mamaia (the one buried in the sand) to Năvodari, sunbathing will only be done on a towel.
Not to forget! If this term remains, do not be surprised that, in the height of the summer season, on the beach you will hear the sound of drills instead of the waves.
