Construction update

Hardly seems worth the effort for the amount of extra apron gained but the foundations for a new wall has been installed to increase the depth of stands 16-19. At the far end the drop is around 2 metres. The old grass area that is being removed does get wider behind the camera though.



The new exist route has opened as a single lane at the moment. All traffic entering the CTA has to leave via this new road.

In the background can be seen the multistory which is now open on all floors. The ground, first and most of the second floor is public parking. A small part of the second floor contains the offices and customer pick up/ drop off point for priority parking. The third floor and roof is the area where cars are taken by staff to be parked so has no public access although there does not seem to be any physical restrictions.



All traffic has to pass through part of the bus station before heading down a temporary route which was the former drop off area. This is causing delays in peak flow February traffic.




Passengers are now following the route of the covered walkway which had its foundations put in before the top layer of tarmac was laid. To the right is the old lower route containing the old service road crossing. This part of the path will be raised and opened again in the coming weeks. In the background more of the terminal extension has been clad. The outline of part of the entrance can be seen seen by the lower gaps in the cladding. Work has also started on fitting partitions and cable trays inside the new build.


The new entry road has had kerbing laid beside the drop off area and throughout the length of the exit tunnel under Alpha.

A bus can been seen following a temporary route through the edge of the short term car park just before it joins the already completed ring road.


Work has started again on putting in steels for pier B
