Old Street Station, LU & Surface

Enhancements Programme, Healthy Streets Portfolio

Pathway Stages

4 (Detail Design) - 6 (Close)

Role

Technical assurance to submissions by external architects/ designers, consultants and contractors/ subcontractors.

Scope

The transformation of Old Street is a major project. It includes modernising the station entrance and an outdated 1960s roundabout to create a much safer, more welcoming environment for everyone. Due to the complexity of the site and project itself, it is delivered in multiple phases to ensure safe construction and safe operation of the station. The scope of works includes the following:

★ The Northwest arm of the roundabout has been permanently closed to all traffic. Work is continuing to create a major new public space with better walking and cycling access to Old Street station.

★ Once complete, the former Old Street roundabout will have permanent, fully segregated cycle lanes alongside new pedestrian crossings to make it much easier to walk and cycle.

★ Modernising the station to create 2 new passenger entrances, a green roof and new lifts to an upgraded retail area.

★ The transformation is complex and taking place in a busy location on the Inner Ring Road, above a Tube and Network Rail station.
