Return to the John Sisk site to see progress of the York Central
​Development

John Sisk kindly hosted a 3rd visit to the York Central site on Thursday 26th March 2026. The site has transformed hugely over the 3 visits. 
​We started at the front of the station and were given an overview of the project including some of the issues that have had to be dealt with.
These included having to be extremely sensitive when working in the demolition of Queen street bridge because of the potential damage to the city walls
Problems in re-routing services in various locations along with the need to be build a new electrical substation, which is built, but they are awaiting Network Rails go ahead to switch from the old to new location. Because it is responsible for all the electrical supply to the station!
We then went down the new link road across the York central development to see the current state of play regards the new road bridge, which will be lifted in sections from late April into early May.
We then returned to the site offices, where we had lunch before being given presentations on the environmental issues experienced on the A59 Kex Gill scheme, followed by a briefing on how the new bridge will  be installed. Including videos of the footbridge installation, which gave a good lead to the much larger task involving the road bridge.
