Crossrail construction 50% complete

摘要

Prime Minister David Cameron, accompanied by Mayor of London Boris Johnson and Transport Minister Stephen Hammond, visited the Tottenham Court Road station worksite on January 16 to mark the halfway point having been reached in the construction of Crossrail. 'Big infrastructure projects like Crossrail are vital for the economy of London and the rest of Britain', said Cameron. 'They are the foundation stone on which business can grow, compete and support jobs - a massive 55 000 jobs in the construction phase of this project alone'.
