Some intensive engineering work is now in progress to realign the rail track to serve the new station.
Last week saw the closure of Belfast's Great Victoria Street train station after playing a leading role in the city's history since the early 1800s.
The Europa bus station, which is connected to Great Victoria Street train station, will remain open before the new state-of-the art transport hub combines rail and bus services in the autumn. The project started in 2020, with construction due to be completed by the final quarter of 2024 and the full project by next year. But there is no exact date yet for the opening of the new bus and rail centre.
This will involve road and lane closures, impacting traffic within the city centre, including some alterations to Translink bus services.View gallery Grand Central Station had previously been described as a £200 million project but last month in the Assembly, it emerged that the estimated cost has risen to £340m.
“The project is due to be completed by quarter four 2025 which is in line with the date indicated in the approved full business case,” he said.
