Stunning footage shows new Everton stadium rise up before roof work begins

Work is continuing at pace on the Everton Stadium project as preparations for the roof trusses being lifted into place are well underway.

The Blues have been on site at Bramley-Moore Dock for well over a year now and have already completed an incredible transformation of the area. Fans have been treated to regular updates from the club and fellow supporters depicting the incredible changes that seem to be happening weekly at the waterfront.

Right now, the framework of what will eventually be a state-of-the-art 52,888-seatter stadium can clearly be seen rising up. Steelwork has nearly reached completion on the South Stand having already been completed on the North Stand with work on the west side of the new ground continuing to develop.

The latest video from Everton shows stunning views once again of the work taking place on the site, and details some of the aspects that will be coming next.

Concrete terracing units are continuing to be lifted into place, and they will eventually support temporary structures to hold the roof trusses in place, once they are assembled at ground level and hoisted at both ends of the stadium later this year.

Concrete raker beams and supporting struts are now emerging across the length of the west stand too. These will continue to be installed as each level is built, with the lower raker beams the last to be installed, to allow the pitchside crane assisting in the build to get as close to the stand as possible.

Beneath the west stand, the footprint also includes space for a hydrotherapy pool in the space where the home dressing room is planned, while lattice planks are continuing to be laid in that stand. The video goes inside the build to detail what will, in the coming years, be an impressive Everton changing room.

A new access road is also being laid on top of the concrete foundations in the centre of the east stand. This will allow cranes and vehicles carrying materials to traverse to the centre of the internal bowl, while the rest of the east stand build continues around it.

Everton plan to move into their new stadium for the 2024/25 season, with exciting visible updates planned throughout the rest of this calendar year. The club's official stadium website will document all of the coming news about Bramley-Moore along with the latest video footage from the construction site.
