Improvements to Littlehampton’s seafront between East Beach, South Terrace and Windmill Road got underway last autumn.
The £7.2 million revamp includes new toilets and beach showers, improvements to the car park, including electric vehicle charging points, walkways and new sustainable planting.
A new water play area and a pop-up marketplace off Banjo Road with four fixed stalls will also come to the beach.
Arun District Council said the current work to the drainage connection, at the junction of Banjo Road with South Terrace, is taking longer than anticipated due to an unexpected obstruction below the ground.
Because of this, traffic controls will be in place for “a few more days”.
As well as the drainage work, contractors have installed a low railing along the edge of the car park and a windbreak fence around the volleyball area.
The barbeques are back on site following their winter refurbishment by Littlehampton Town Council.
New picnic benches will soon be arriving and bicycle racks will be placed in different locations around the site.
Brightly coloured safety surfacing has appeared around the water play area and the work will continue into next week when the weather is dry.
Scaffolding has been removed from the foreshore building but work continues inside and fencing is being installed around the yard area.
Contractors have also started to clear the site in Banjo Road, ready for new tarmac surfacing to be laid.
It is hoped that, weather permitting, the landscape contractors can complete the remaining planting within the next two weeks.
