The 15 year programme of regeneration at Dundee Waterfront aims to reconnect the city centre with the river. Initial road realignment, tunnel strengthening and development of a storm water tank have been completed. The next stage, involving the realignment of ramps to the Tay Road Bridge and construction of a northern boulevard, commenced in May 2010. Regeneration is being taken forward across the city, particularly focused on Whitfield, Hilltown and Lochee, with significant input from the Vacant and Derelict Land Fund and the Town Centre Regeneration Fund.

A Draft Delivery Plan for 2011/12 Vacant and Derelict Land Funding has been received from Dundee City Council, proposing the construction of pound lock gates at Camperdown Docks to increase the operational capacity of the harbour and enable the construction of a marina to contribute to the wider Waterfront regeneration.

The new V&A museum in Dundee will be located at the Waterfront and is due to open in 2014.
