Dundee Rail Station

August 1, 2018

The Original Brief

The Partnership and their stakeholder partners have a unique opportunity to contribute towards the delivery of national and local objectives, and in particular advance the ‘city vision’ consistent with the Central Waterfront Development master plan.

Highway realignment works provided for within the waterfront development master plan, require replacement of the Station over bridge which is integral to the existing concourse building of Dundee Rail Station. The bridge re-decking works will cause significant temporary disruption to the road, rail and pedestrian traffic and incur costs of disruptive and rules of the route rail possessions.

Incorporation of station enhancement proposals within these planned works could secure value for money for the Dundee Central Waterfront Partnership and project stakeholders through efficiencies in design and procurement costs, the avoided cost of rail possessions should work be done at a later date, and avoided additional disruption to users as a result of uncoordinated works.

Phase 1 works required traffic and utility diversions to create space to allow the demolition of the Marketgait Bridge and partial demolition of the Tay Station Bridge.

The works to be complete in advance of the proposed V&A development.

The demolition works were planned to take place during a disruptive Rail Possession which was booked for
