Construction update

Work has started on the foundations of the second multistory while in the background work continues on the Dart station site. The photo shows three boring machines and 2 cranes.


The station site.


Soil is starting to accumulated from the boring operation. At the moment is being dumped by the walkway to the drop off area.


The central stairs are now open.


Work has started at one end of the bus station to erect the wibbly wobbly covered area as no two posts seem to be the same height. Just in shot a short post is being lowered by the crane.


Work has started to fill in the entrance and exit island to the bus station. Pure speculation but I suspect the dual carriageway will be diverted into the former loop of the drop off area to allow the existing dual carriageway to be dug out for a cut and cover tunnel.


Meanwhile by the fire station and fronting taxiway Bravo an area has been fenced off. Again this is the route for the cut and cover tunnel that will cross the taxiway. In the distance workmen wearing yellow can be seen that were walking the site.
