Works commissioned by South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) have reached the highest point of the refurbishment of Rotherham Interchange, as building contractors Interserve hit the halfway mark of the contract programme. 

And the Advertiser was given access to the bus station and multi-storey car park to see how it is being brought into the 21st century.

The £12 million scheme will see improvements to the interchange in Rotherham town centre which include the installation of new lighting, glazing, seating, flooring, CCTV and Passenger Information Displays. 

The scheme will also involve repairs and upgrades to the car park including new cladding, surfacing, the provision of larger spaces for modern cars, electric vehicle charging points as well as improved pedestrian routes.

SYPTE and Interserve held a topping-out ceremony with civic dignitaries and other guests to mark the scheme’s progress.

While the bus station is out of bounds, bus services are being run from nearby Forge Island.
