The last few weeks has seen the land opposite the hotels being levelled and a curved layer of concrete being laid. This will be the construction site for the Gateway Bridge that will cross Airport Way. Once complete it will be taken to site which is meant to be in the Autumn.
Meanwhile at Parkway the temporary trusses put in a couple of weeks ago have been covered in planking and boarding at the far end. Careful examination also shows at the far end the first viaduct support just outside the station.
Just outside Central Station over the last few weeks a layer of concrete was laid. On this concrete two reinforced concrete beams were built either side of the bridge supports. I am speculating that eventually these beams will sit over the Dart lines when the concrete below is removed. On top of the beams planking has been laid with a side wall indicating the possible reroute of the passenger walkway to the temporary drop off zone.
The second multi-storey is now reaching its full width in places.
At the other end a third core is being put up. Note the height of the drop off zone ceiling which makes the second multi-story taller than the first.
Finally, 5 months after the terminal extension was officially opened the arrivals area is now complete with just a tiny piece of the rubbish slatted ceiling being installed around the flight board. To be honest it doesn't make much difference leaving the terminal extension in landside arrivals looking half finished.
