Construction update

The Dart Gateway bridge has received its upper structure aided by 3 temporary support columns. On its right hand side scaffolding has started to be erected. The bridge will be back lit in LED lighting.


Behind the Airbus the temporary location of the bridge can be seen


Last week I mentioned and provided the plan for the internal road network of the new drop off zone and my thoughts about 5 sets of pedestrian crossings when it was pedestrian crossings that caused massive traffic queues in a previous drop off zone. Those with long memories will remember the traffic lights that were installed on the CTA roundabout and the queues they caused.

As can be seen on close examination the first three sets of traffic lights are being installed inside the drop off area. Looks like each crossing will be covered by traffic lights that are pedestrian controlled as there are panels at chest height for pressing . Is this really going to work and keep traffic moving?


The exit route from the drop off zone and the original multi-story which feels like driving through a canyon.The new multi-story exit ramp can be seen on the left.

The only commissioned lift in the new multi-storey has now broken down with the airport employing people to carry luggage to the first and second floors.


Work is now taking place to remove the embankment to taxiway Bravo


Two Wizz pass each other using Delta and new taxiway Foxtrot. After the Wizz passed resurfacing vehicles started work on Delta which can be seen queuing for airside access.
