Bus station begins journey at Blackburn

EvadX, working on behalf of main contractor Thomas Barnes, has erected the first curving columns for Blackburn’s new £5M bus station.

Approximately 100t of structural steelwork will be erected to form the bus station that has been conceived as a giant canopy within the centre of the town. The steel frame will be clad with a 5m-high glazing system to create a fully enclosed concourse.

The station will feature 14 bus stands and three layover facilities as well as the latest ventilation systems and journey planning technology.

Blackburn bus station is scheduled to be completed in the early part of the New Year.
