The newly transformed Govan Transport Interchange has scooped a national Transport Award with the help of Graham Construction.
It was awarded the prestigious 'Integrated Transport Project of the Year' at the Scottish Transport Awards 2018. Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) picked up the award at the ceremony last month, 14 June.
SPT commissioned Graham to support the modernisation of Glasgow's subway and bus station network as part of an overall £288 million programme.
Graham's revamp at Govan included both the subway station and bus station, enabling the Interchange to act as a key junction with Fastlink on Golspie Street in the service of around one million passengers a year.
The Govan upgrade also introduced passenger lifts and other enhancement measures, such as hearing loops, tactile maps and paving, and colour contrast flooring.
Other improvements included a new modern ticket office; new flooring, wall and ceiling finishes; new way finding, information and signage for passengers; brighter, energy efficient lighting; and the installation of four new escalators.
Work was completed on the project in June 2016 after 55 weeks of construction.
