Graham is already doing the enabling works for the redevelopment Belfast鈥檚 Europa bus centre and Great Victoria Street rail station. Now it has been given an additional package of works.

鈥淎s 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.鈥

Belfast Transport Hub programme manager Lisa McFadden said: 聽鈥淐ompletion 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.鈥
