Massive support beams craned into place as Dundee railway station takes shape [Courier]





Date: 26/05/2016

More than 40 massive support beams have been lifted into place as the new Dundee railway station concourse take shape. Weighing in at up to 18 tonnes each, the beams will support the new concourse and buildings over the main east coast line. The railway station is one of the key features of Dundees hugely ambitious Waterfront project. It had for many years been seen as one of the city centres most maligned buildings, but the council hopes that in future it will offer a suitable welcome to visitors.

As part of the ambitious Dundee Waterside Development the station is scheduled to be rebuilt further west. This however is a long-term plan and you still have a few years (or maybe quite a lot of years) to either put up with or admire - depending on your point of view - the present street buildings, seen here in April 2011. That 'Station' road sign seems to be aimed at drivers so short-sighted they shouldn't be driving.
