Last month marked the completion of the £20 million project in Halifax town centre – the redevelopment of the Bus Station for West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) and Calderdale Council.
We arrived on site in September 2021 and have been working alongside Willmott Dixon to help deliver this transformative project. We’re thrilled to see it is now in full operational use.
This new modern facility was constructed with a strong focus on increasing accessibility, safety and connectivity in order to improve the existing passenger experience.
With an addition of 40 trees being planted around the station, it further features several other environmentally friendly components such as electric bus charging points, bike parking, solar panels and a green roof of living plants.
As part of this multi-million-pound project, our works package included:
- Drainage and attenuation tank installation
- External services
- Construction of foundations and slab
- External works to the Bus Station but also extending to Northgate, Winding Road and Wade Street
- Supply and install of 19x DIRO bus barriers
- In-situ concrete walls
- 100m gabion retaining wall
- Various elements of contribution towards the refurbishment of the Sion Chapel
Due to the phased construction, temporary works were put in place where required in order to keep the bus station operational whilst works were commencing on site.
It has been a pleasure to be part of this latest milestone in the major regeneration work and transport improvements happening across Calderdale.
