A team of 200 workers completed major engineering works to the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) tracks near the ExCeL Exhibition Centre over Christmas to enable the construction of Crossrail's new Victoria Dock Portal to get underway.

Construction teams worked around the clock from Sunday 23 December, through Christmas Day and Boxing Day to move both tracks of the DLR route next to ExCeL. Final track adjustments were then made on New Year's Day after new signalling was installed by DLR's contractors. In total, some 420 metres of twin DLR tracks were renewed and realigned.

The track works were essential to create space for the construction of Victoria Dock Portal that will allow the new Crossrail trains to move from the surface railway from the east, into the route's new central tunnelled section. Work will shortly get underway to construct Victoria Dock Portal.
