The Crossrail project, which will bring a brand new transport infrastructure to London and the South East, is now 67% complete and is still on target to be completed on time, to budget. Following the completion of 42km of tunnels in the spring, Crossrail is moving closer towards the 2017 deadline, when stations will start to open in different phases.

Station structures are now complete at London’s Canary Wharf and Custom House, and construction of other new Crossrail stations continues in central London and locations to the West and East.

Crossrail is currently the largest construction project in Europe and it is estimated that it will generate at least £42bn for the UK economy and support 55,000 jobs. So far, 95% of contracts have been awarded to UK companies with 61% of suppliers based outside of London.
