Olympic Park images released as IOC visits London

21 Apr 2009

New pictures have been released showing the progress on the Olympic Park now that construction work has started on all of the ‘big five’ venues – Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Olympic Village, Velodrome and International Broadcast Centre/Main Press Centre (IBC/MPC).

The International Olympic Committee’s Coordination Commission is today visiting the capital for a progress update on London’s plans for staging the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Their trip will include a tour of the Park to see progress first hand.

ODA Chairman, John Armitt, said: ‘The Olympic Stadium has changed the east London skyline, the Aquatics Centre roof is starting to take shape and the first residential blocks for the Olympic Village are out of the ground.

‘As well as constructing new world-class venues, work is steadily taking place on creating the new infrastructure that will be the backbone of the Olympic Park for both the Games and the development after 2012. New energy and sewer networks, roads, bridges and revitalised waterways and new urban parklands will join together to create a new part of London.’
