File:Sydney Metro the new Northern Concourse at Central Station

Description
The Northern Concourse is taking shape at Central Station with the landmark roof nearly two-thirds complete.

Sydney Metro Chief Executive Jon Lamonte outlines progress as workers install the steel girders, affectionately known as the “hockey sticks”, and cassette roof sections.

The 80-metre-long and 40-metre-wide roof extends from the northern end of Platform 8 to Platform 16.

It will sit more than 16 metres above ground to enable natural light to filter into the station through diamond-shaped skylights.
