Remarkable scenes were witnessed today as the passenger footbridge from the existing multi story was having its walls and ceilings washed. This is the first time this has happened as the bridge was handed over by the builders without being cleaned and was filthy and grime ridden on day one of its opening in 2016.
I had a close look at the second multi story which was meant to open today. Still think this opening is a few days away and when it does open only the 1st and maybe the 2nd floors will open. Both these floors have had the parking bays painted in with the top floors are still receiving concrete.
The main core containing lifts is still being clad, contains no windows and has a temporary roof made out of nailed down plastic. Looking through the windowless openings the lifts still seem to be boarded up.
The exit route from the down ramp onto the ring road has no road markings and no give way signs have yet appeared. The pillars on the ramp have only been part painted with some untouched so it will be challenging to paint these if the ramp is opened to traffic.
While the hoarding has been removed that will access the new multi story the temporary route to the lifts and staircase has yet to be boarded. This is giving a view of where those that are paying premium money for valet parking are having their cars parked which is in the middle of a building site on what will be the drop off area. With the air thick with dust I am wondering if the cars are washed before being handed back over.
