Leeds Bradford Airport £100m Regeneration Programme

[LBA4EVER]

Out of interest does anyone know if our batch of winds are causing any delays to current construction work? Seriously hoping for much improved weather through the rest of this winter not only to recover diversions but so there is no risk of delays to this terminal work. Would be a shame is max use wasn't in place until 2027? Is there any contingency built in to the current 2026 do we know?

Whilst passing the airport what appeared to be more work units/cabins were been delivered. Wind is horrendous up in yeadon this morning!

Had construction been underway involving scaffold etc., then it might have caused delays , but with ground works I can't imagine it will cause any significant problems.

No cranes involved just yet so it will be business as usual.

A large area of earth has been dug to a depth of ~3ft and the dirt looks to have been moved off-site. Not sure if this is a levelling of the ground or the start of the foundations (or both).

Nothing much happened in the last week or so, but the piling rig is on a flatbed waiting to be removed. Presumably waiting for police escort

Thought the police only used BMW's these days haha

Noticed cement mixers have now begun pouring concrete this morning. Surely not too long before steelwork starts emerging.

Continuing mild (and relatively calm) weather is hopefully helping keep the project well and truly on track. Let's hope this continues and our amazing new facilities are delivered on time. Exciting times of where LBA gets to then

Has anyone been able to snap a recent picture of the site? I'm struggling to see what's happening from my vantage point

I would post one but the Forum is still not letting me add any more images despite trying through the media library and by changing the resolution. I gave up spending time on it.

You have reached your limit on attachments without removing one of your older attachments to free up space.

For the media gallery you must adhere to the size restrictions. Mobile phone images have become far too large for us to allow them without reducing the sizes.

If you have already reduced the pixel size to within the requirements but it still won't upload you could try a JPEG rather that PNG file as the latter is usually larger.

Two of your attachments appear to be the same, and one of your others is similar.

Just put your pics in a GooglePhotos library and share it. Other sharing sites also available.

That is always an option but so long as the guidelines are followed you should be able to do it here without a problem.

I have deleted two images from my media and it still will not work. The image is well below the file size and image dimensions restriction.

I have managed to do it through flickr.

Stonework now visible suggesting groundworks may be about to conclude.

Here was I expecting to see the groundworks for the Terminal extension when I flew out on Tuesday without realising it is still dark at 5am.
Better luck in 3 weeks time when I fly out in the afternoon.

It covers a surprisingly large area when you see it in the flesh, so to speak. As it’ll be on three levels the sheer size of the development including the reworking of the current terminal cannot be under stated. It’s going to be huge!
