Griffiths Farrans JV awarded contract for Bristol Airport transport hub

Bristol Airport has awarded the Griffiths Farrans JV the contract to build a £60M public transport interchange hub and multi-storey car park.

The project forms part of Bristol Airport’s overall multi-million-pound transformational development plan that will enable 12 million passengers a year to use the Airport.

It will provide a significantly enlarged public transport interchange hub, an improved internal road system and an additional multi-storey car park providing customer enhancements such as waiting rooms and rest facilities.

The public transport interchange hub will provide access for coaches, buses and other forms of public transport on the top level of the multi-storey car park.

The multi-storey car park will provide over 2,000 spaces and will adjoin the existing multi-storey car park. The terminal will be accessed via a glazed pedestrian bridge link on the same level.

Glenn Gilmore, Regional Director, Griffiths Farrans JV, said: “We are looking forward to getting started with this exciting project, which will play a significant role in the step change of Bristol Airport as it elevates its offering to support new air links and increase inbound tourism.

“The vision for the future is one with sustainability, safety and enhanced customer experiences at the heart of it. Griffiths Farrans JV has extensive experience within the aviation sector providing intelligent construction and civil engineering solutions across the UK.”
