The brand-new Bristol Brabazon station has reached a new milestone with the installation of an accessible footbridge.
A crane lifted all nine pieces into place over the recent Bank Holiday Weekend.
Now that the deck and stairs are in place, cladding work will begin.
Alongside the bridge work, platform construction work has been progressing well with canopies, platform edges and more being installed over the next few weeks.
The station is still set to open later this year, with a planned second phase ahead of the Aviva Arena opening in 2028.
“The installation of the accessible footbridge is a major milestone for Bristol Brabazon station and alongside the ongoing platform construction, marks significant and visible progress.
“Once complete, the new station will play a key role in connecting people to jobs, homes and opportunities, providing sustainable access to everything the wider region has to offer. We’re proud to be part of a project that supports both the growth of this new neighbourhood and stronger transport links across the West of England.”
