Construction update

Very slowly the routes to the new entrances are opening up but there is still months of work until the whole area around the bus station is complete.


A more direct route from the shuttle bus has been opened. In between the two slopes stairs are being installed made from what looks like granite.


Also making slow progress is the slatted ceiling, which is now going in. The photo shows the only section to be so far completed since the infill opened in April. The photo is taken from the existing terminal with the check-in desks behind the photo. In the distance can be seen the new build.


The site of the 2nd multi story is being covered in hardcore.


Despite the terminal station being below ground the former drop off area is also being covered in hardcore with the level being gradually raised by around 1 metre. At some point most of it will all have to be dug out again.


Finally the update would not be complete without a quick look at the new DART Parkway station interchange. As can be seen this site is also being rolled and raised with hardcore.


As can be seen the photos are dominated by hardcore but there is nothing too much to excite.
