At the Jeppesen Terminal, preparation works have already in place to install taller walls, on the north and south bridges overlooking the construction activity below on Level 5. The walls will increase safety for passengers and workers.

Weatherproofing the exterior areas on levels 4, 5 and 6 is taking place to ensure that the site is protected from outdoor elements.

The construction crew is also making additional safety provision and switching the swing of construction site access doors inwards, offering more space to passengers and the general public.

Material delivery is also increasing to prepare for Phase I construction to resume. Trucks will be staged at night on the west side of level 4 for a few weeks, followed by similar closures on the eastside.
