Griffiths Farrans JV hands over Bristol Airport’s Public Transport Interchange early

One of the region’s largest public transport interchanges was officially handed over this week ahead of programme to Bristol Airport by Griffiths Farrans Joint Venture. The development will provide more frequent connections for people to travel to and from Bristol Airport by bus and coach. The £60 million project, part of the Airport’s £400 million transformation programme, enables more sustainable journeys and will see around 250 public transport movements a day. The two-year build of the Public Transport Interchange (PTI) boosted the local economy providing 120 jobs on site during the peak of the project with over 60 new jobs created, as well as supporting the local supply chain. The concrete supplier was based less than five miles from the Airport and 30% of suppliers came from within a 50-mile radius. The project also provided work opportunities for those looking to get into engineering and construction careers, with 15 apprentices and T Level placements from Weston College among those to work on the project. The Public Transport Interchange was opened today by Cllr Mike Bell, leader of North Somerset Council, Sadik Al-Hassan MP and Dave Lees, CEO, Bristol Airport. The transport interchange, which is located on the top of a new multi-storey car park, boasts 16 bus/coach bays, whereas previously there were five. It means for the first time customers can benefit from a dedicated bay for each service, sheltered bus canopy including a covered Silver Zone bus waiting area, live transport information screens, and there’s now an integrated system online to book onward travel with Great Western Railways. There’s level access to the terminal forecourt via a new covered bridge link.
