The programme of improvement works taking place on platforms at James Street, Lime Street and Central Stations will involve replacing wall claddings to tunnels, escalators and passageways as well as retiling the floors and platforms. Three escalators are also being replaced at Central Station.
Construction starts in April and the project is due for completion by August 2013.
Morgan Sindall infrastructure managing director Jag Paddam said: “We are delighted to have been awarded this project and look forward to applying our diverse experience gained on previous rail projects to ensure a successful end result.
“Our team is accustomed to working in live environments. On this project, whilst a number of the stations themselves will be closed, we will be undertaking a series of night time working schedules so that trains can continue to pass through and thus minimise disruption to the travelling public.”
