Gautrain updates - Wolmarans Street open again

Within the remaining tunnel section to Park Station, civil works, including final lining, invert slabs, cable duct installation and walkways, are ongoing.

The underground works also include the construction of seven emergency access shafts located at intervals along the single-track rail tunnel between Park Station and Sandton Station. These shafts will provide emergency services personnel access to the tunnels below. At the bottom of certain of these shafts there will be safe havens where passengers can gather in case of an emergency. Construction works are ongoing at each of these emergency access shafts.

At the underground station, the roof slab, concourse slab and the platforms are all substantially complete. Internal brickwork and plastering is well advanced at both concourse and platform levels. Wall tiling and mechanical and electrical installations are ongoing. At the parkade structure, three of the six levels of deck slabs have been cast.
