Bridgewater Forecourt

Client

Great Western Railway

Location

Bridgewater, Somerset

Project Value

£900k

Project duration

18 weeks

Project overview

Great Western Rail entrusted a £900,000 redevelopment project for Bridgewater Station forecourt. Bridgewater station is the second most used railway station in Somerset after Taunton, serving approximately 400,000 annual entrances and exits. This Grade II listed building, which reflects the architectural vision of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, faced accessibility challenges for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. It demanded a comprehensive solution to enhance access and connectivity while preserving its heritage.

Approach

The project required a redesign of the car park, footpaths, and roads with the introduction of a new bus stop and waiting shelter.

The redevelopment initiative prioritised the restoration and re-design of an improved parking infrastructure. The planning and execution included implementing drainage systems, installing new lighting columns, delineating marked-out parking bays, and integrating traffic calming speed bumps. A temporary car park for up to 30 vehicles was strategically formed to mitigate disruption during construction, ensuring operational continuity.

Provisions for future vehicle charging points were integrated through the installation of underground ductwork, aligning with sustainability objectives.

New paving flags and sets were meticulously laid along passenger and public routes, giving a safer and more convenient station experience for pedestrians and cyclists.

Scope of works

  • Formation of a temporary car park for up to 30 vehicles
  • Drainage
  • New lighting columns
  • Formation of a new bus route within the car park
  • Installation of a Gullwing Waiting Shelter
  • Installation of new underground ductwork ready for future vehicle charging points
  • New paving flags and sets to all passenger and public routes complete with new marked-out car park bays and traffic calming speed bumps

Outcome

  • Improved parking facilities addressing historical accessibility challenges.

  • Enhanced transportation connections with the integration of a new bus stop and waiting shelter.

  • Creation of a sustainable transport hub in alignment with broader environmental initiatives.

  • Operational continuity maintained throughout the project duration, ensuring minimal disruption to station operations.

In conclusion, the Bridgewater Station redevelopment project has significantly improved parking facilities, effectively addressing accessibility issues. This positions the station as a sustainable transport hub, serving both commuters and businesses, while maintaining uninterrupted operations throughout the 18-week project.
