VolkerFitzpatrick has been appointed to deliver \u00a320m worth of upgrades to prepare Romford and Ilford stations for Crossrail.<\/p>\n

Works include a new station building at Ilford, as well as a new ticket hall and lifts to provide step-free access throughout the station.<\/p>\n

Construction at Ilford is expected to begin at the end of this year and to be completed by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

At Romford, VolkerFitzpatrick will build a new entrance onto the Battis walkway, a tunnelled pedestrian link to the station.<\/p>\n

It will also construct a new ticket hall and install lifts which will provide step-free access to platforms three, four and five.<\/p>\n

Romford\u2019s construction programme will be finalised in the next few months.<\/p>\n

Network Rail principal programme sponsor Colin Prime said the contract \u201crepresents the final hurdle to deliver the Crossrail eastern stations programme and a significant milestone for our contribution to this huge project\u201d.<\/p>\n

In an advisory note from Crossrail last week<\/a>, project bosses warned they have identified risks that could see the \u00a317.6bn project exceed its budget if action is not taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
