Rotherham Interchange Refurbishment

Over the past 10 years regular structural inspections of the car park have revealed a number of defects in columns, beams and slabs and a number of smaller repair schemes have taken place to maintain the car park's structural integrity. In 2012 the main access bridge was replaced, its main structural pier strengthened, and whilst the car park was closed, a number of repairs on ramps critical to internal circulation were undertaken to enable future car park Deterioration of the remainder of the car park has continued and a number of options for repair and re-development of the site have been considered. Planning permission was granted for the refurbishment/repair of the car park on 30 May 2014. Subsequently a number of alternative development schemes have been considered and a preferred option of refurbishing both the car park and interchange below has been chosen to be taken forward.
