Construction update

The first panel has been fitted to the new entrance. Can't yet make out what it is made from until I can get underneath it. The original plan showed a massive grand design but the bean counters won with this compact effort that will keep the glass dry but that is about it. Another mini canopy will run the length of the bus station.


The Mystery of the wall. What is its purpose? Note the drainage against the wall.


The ramp that will carry all traffic.


The subway that will eventually serve the new drop off area plus MS2


At the top of the ramp an exit is being created to access the first floor of the new multistory as the ground floor will be the drop off area.


The new temporary drop off area. Cars will travel around the 5 individual bays on the wrong side of the road. Bollards are started to be installed to keep the traffic on the wrong side of the road


Traffic has been diverted around the second footbridge and 3rd core which are due for demolition and passes the entrance to the subway meaning it can't open until the road goes back.


The new taxiway extension is taking the strain.


Finally what an airport handling 16 million passengers looks like
