Construction update

Tuesday saw work start again on the digging out of the embankment for the dual carriageway.



The foundations seem to be all but complete for pier B


All exit barriers and road markings around them have been completed since Christmas....


...although there is no signage for the multistory car park on the approach to its entrance, which drop away on the bend in the road.


Work started today on digging up the former entrance to the service road. The ground here will be raised by around a metre. Where the digger is located will be one of two extra bus bays.


The two brokendown lifts by the short term car park have now been repaired after around 2 weeks of being out of action so the crossing point across the approach road has been closed again.

It has been noted that the thick multilayered light blue paint that covers the floors in the lobbies by the lift shafts, the staircases and the footbridges are starting to peel back to bare concrete. In the terminal side lobby of the footbridge the airports famous yellow and black tape has been put down to protect the edges where the paint has lifted. Upstairs on the footbridges there are too many flaking locations to put down tape.
