VINCI wins contract to upgrade London’s Victoria Tube station

17 June 2010 - New contracts - United Kingdom

Transport for London (TfL) has awarded the contract to upgrade Victoria Tube station to VINCI BAM Nuttall Ltd, the consortium comprising Taylor Woodrow (VINCI Construction UK) and BAM Nuttall Ltd.

The project calls for modernising and improving access to one of London Underground’s busiest and most congested stations, with 80 million passengers a year.

The station will be upgraded in two phases.

•    The first phase includes building a new entrance and a new ticket hall. Works will start in 2011 and should be completed in 2016.
•    The second phase involves installing new lifts and escalators in the existing ticket hall, which will be doubled in size. Delivery of this phase is scheduled for 2018.

This further success follows on from the contract won by VINCI BAM Nuttall in December 2009 to upgrade London’s Tottenham Court Road Tube station.
