FP McCann Named Main Contractor For Ballymena Park And Ride Expansion

FP McCann has been appointed as the main contractor to deliver an expansion of the Park and Ride at Ballymena Bus/Rail Station, supporting Translink's strategy to promote sustainable travel and improve access to public transport across Northern Ireland.

The scheme is a significant infrastructure investment that will provide 392 safe, secure parking spaces, increasing capacity and making it easier for more people to combine car, bus and rail for their journeys. It is intended to enhance regional connectivity and offer a reliable alternative to car-only trips.

The enlarged Park and Ride will be fully accessible and include covered cycle shelters, CCTV with security fencing and low-impact floodlighting, alongside improved pedestrian routes.
