New drone photos have highlighted the latest progress as significant "infrastructure upgrades" continue to the outer harbour of a port in a coastal town.
Construction works started on the Outer Harbour of the Port of Lowestoft in November.
And as piling work gathers pace, these photos capture the progress being made.
The drone photos taken of ABP port's Port of Lowestoft were captured by Jonathan Howes.
It comes as the construction works - which are earmarked to be completed by the end of May next year - will be paused from this weekend until the New Year for the festive season.
Associated British Ports (ABP) - the UK’s leading ports group that owns and operates the Port of Lowestoft - notified residents and businesses who live or work within the vicinity of the Outer Harbour of the works that started on November 17.
And with the ongoing infrastructure upgrades at the Outer Harbour of the port, there has been "steady progress" made since piling works began.
A spokesman for ABP said: "Construction works, which are aimed at enhancing the Outer Harbour’s infrastructure, began recently under the supervision of McLaughlin & Harvey, the contractor appointed by ABP to lead this project.
"Piling works have been making steady progress with approximately 20pc of the planned piles successfully installed.
"The project remains on track to complete piling works by May 2024."
No works will take place at the Outer Harbour from Saturday, December 23, as work is set to resume on Monday, January 8.
Tom Duit, Operations Manager at ABP’s Port of Lowestoft said: "We are pleased with how the installation of the piling is progressing.
"We will be providing further updates in the new year."
ABP said the infrastructure enhancements signified its commitment to "ensuring the port, and therefore the town," will be able to continue to grow as a thriving centre for supporting the offshore energy industry.
