Willmott Dixon is to deliver a £25 million transport hub in Lincoln.

The firm will start work on the transport hub towards the end of this year.

As part of the project Willmott Dixon will construct a new bus station, improve the current train station, create a dual-purpose footbridge to link St Mary's Street and Tentercroft Street and deliver a space multi-storey car park.

Nick Heath, operations director for the East Midlands at Willmott Dixon, said: "This is a hugely significant project for Lincoln. The regeneration of the city centre, which the transport hub is part of, will benefit residents, businesses and visitors – and importantly help to prepare the growing city for further development.

"The creation of the transport hub will help to unlock the west side retail and Lindum Gate developments, creating a more accessible and fluid way for people to travel through the city. Features of the project such as the new footbridge will make the city easier to travel through for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike.

"As a firm we are increasingly active in the county and are pleased to be part of such an important project which will have a considerable positive impact on the city and beyond."
