The changing face of Monaco
Monaco will be a very different looking place when the Formula 1 circus arrives next year. On Monday a vast 350m long floating platform, which consists of 160,000 tons of concrete, arrived in Monaco. This will be used to double the mooring capacity in the port, around which the Grand Prix is held
The platform will be attached to the sea bed with huge steel braces and it is planned that the platform will soon start to sprout buildings, including a multi-story car park, shops and restaurants.
