The third and final tower crane has now arrived at Bristol Airport where the main contractors are delivering a new public transport interchange.
The interchange will have an improved internal road system and an additional multi-storey car park which will provide customer enhancements such as waiting rooms and rest facilities.
Works are progressing well with the structure now visible above ground. Level one and two slabs are underway and all stair cores are progressing in advance of the floor slabs. 
The project forms part of Bristol Airport’s overall multi-million-pound transformational development plan enabling 12 million passengers a year to use the Airport.
Andrew Goodenough, Infrastructure Director, Bristol Airport said: “Bristol Airport is investing £60 million in our new Public Transport Interchange and associated works, to help increase public transport usage at the Airport and transform the customer experience.
“The project is progressing at pace, and we’re excited about utilising the facility next summer.
“We’re proudly enhancing local job opportunities, apprenticeships and spend in the local economy. Key to our development is sustainability, which is why we’re recycling over 95% of material on site, and we’re keen to ensure we minimise impacts on our local communities.”
Glenn Gilmore, Regional Director of main contractor Griffiths Farrans JV, added: “Our project team is making excellent progress on site at Bristol Airport and, now that work is taking place above ground, passengers coming to the airport will be able to see as each new level is added.
“Milestones like this one provide our local stakeholders with the confidence that work is underway and progressing quickly. We are currently on programme and looking forward to more settled weather throughout summer to continue with our planned timelines.”
