Civil engineering specialist Graham will deliver the new Busway Bridge project to improve transportation links for the Belfast Transport Hub
The existing Translink Busway route which runs into the Europa BusCentre will be altered enabling the Belfast Transport Hub’s main works contractor to construct the new integrated bus and rail infrastructure.
As part of the multi-million-pound Belfast Transport Hub regeneration project and a NI Executive Flagship project, a new weathered steel bridge will be installed by Graham’s civil engineering team.
Society, environment and economy
This project will oversee the transformation of an 8-hectare city-centre site, a modern high-quality integrated transport hub with enhanced links to enhanced links by bus, coach, and rail across Northern Ireland and beyond.
Programme manager for Belfast Transport Hub Lisa McFadden, said:
“We are looking forward to working with Graham on the construction of the Busway Bridge, an integral part of the exciting new Belfast Transport Hub Project.
“Completion of this package of work will enable us to deliver our next stage of bus and rail infrastructure, future proofing our facilities, enhancing operational and passenger experience, creating smarter sustainable transport options and ensuring that Translink continues to be first choice for travel, for today, for tomorrow.”
The Busway Bridge project will encourage more people to use public transport which in turn will reduce traffic and air pollution in the area.
It is also hoped that this development will drive social, environmental and economic progress for Belfast and Northern Ireland by sitting at the heart of a new city neighbourhood called ‘Weavers Cross’ with imaginative mixed-use development proposals.
‘A lasting legacy for Belfast’
Graham’s contracts director Andrew Henry commented:
“We’re pleased to have been awarded this additional package of works on the Belfast Transport Hub scheme, which will facilitate the wider construction of the Hub.
“We have an excellent existing relationship with our client Translink, having successfully collaborated on several high-profile schemes including a new train maintenance facility at Adelaide Depot and the new Portrush Train Station, which have both brought major benefits to the areas they serve.
“As experts in the field of civil engineering our teams will be on hand to deliver the new busway bridge safely and efficiently and to support the completion of the new train and bus deport by the main works contractor.
“We’re looking forward to playing our part in this transformational scheme and leaving a lasting legacy for transport in the city of Belfast.”
