The Sun previously revealed how Weatherfield Police Station will join a raft of new sets as well as Rosamund Street, Victoria Street and Viaduct Street.
The new sets will allow the show to film multiple storylines at once to meet the extra demand for more scenes for the extra episode.
Kate told What's On TV magazine that the construction will be finished by spring next year when it will make its debut on screen.
