Britomart Place programme – Jonathan Dudman
Martinus Rail and Link Alliance have been occupying part of Britomart Place and Scene Lane for works to:
• Strengthen the roof of the underlying railway tunnel (enabling rearrangement of walls and tracks within the tunnel)
• Reconfigure underground equipment rooms at the eastern end of Waitematā Station (Britomart)
Works in Britomart Place / Scene Lane
• The above ground works (excluding the streetscape reinstatement) will be completed by early April 2023.
• During the latter stages of the works, and as Martinus and the Alliance progressively demobilise (removal of construction support areas, hoardings etc.), permanent reinstatement of the Britomart Place/Scene Lane streetscape will commence.
• The streetscape reinstatement is programmed to be completed by the end of May 2023.
The following slides illustrate the sequence of events:
Britomart Place / Scene Lane – End of May 2023 to January 2024
• Streetscape reinstatement completed (end of May).
• Martinus continues to occupy former ‘China Restaurant’ premises as a site office.
• Construction worker access (as shown).
• Intermittent concrete deliveries expected throughout the year.
