Britomart Works ramp up
Physical works in Britomart are about to ramp up in May around the station itself and above ground in Britomart Place.
The latter will be delivered by our contractor, Martinus Rail. The Martinus team are continuing to liaise with neighbouring businesses and apartments as they finalise construction planning.
The diagram below shows the approximate location of the works, ensuring pedestrian and vehicle access through Scene Lane and Britomart Place will be maintained.
Around the station and Tyler Street, our contract partners the Link Alliance will be delivering several packages of work. One of these is the installation of a smoke curtain inside Britomart Station.
When the City Rail Link is operational, more passengers are expected to be using the station. For health and safety reasons, a smoke curtain is required be installed to capture smoke within the station if a fire were to occur. The smoke curtain would contain smoke, while people use the emergency stairs to exit the station. It will be installed on the ceiling, in line with the middle of the platform escalators.
