Olympic Park, London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Olympic Park, London is a new sporting complex to be built in Stratford in East London for the 2012 Summer Olympics. It will be located at grid reference TQ379849.
The Park is being designed by the EDAW Consortium (including EDAW and Buro Happold), working with Arup and Atkins, and is scheduled for completion by 2011.
As of October 2007, the final design of the park has been approved by the Olympic Delivery Authority and its Planning decisions committee.
To enable the major phase of construction to begin, the 52 electricity pylons, each up to 65 metres high, that dominate the landscape in and around the Olympic Park are being removed. The necessary tunnels have been completed to permit putting the cables underground.
