From a dig around it seems that the Crossrail portal will be where
Pudding Mill Lane Station is now. Therefore the DLR line is to be swung
south and a new station will be built. Similarly it looks like a NR line
is also swung south too. I would guess the land currently being
prepared will be the new alignment for DLR and NR and this will be built
first together with whatever civil work is needed for the portal itself
and its relationship with the foundations for the revised alignments.

Once the DLR and NR run on their new alignment then I would guess the
work for dive unders and ramps for the Crossrail lines will be built.

What would be useful would be some normal before and after plans - sometimes
I think the Crossrail information site is made deliberately useless. But
I'd concur - nothing changes at Stratford station itself.

Anyway, once you find it, the text description of the Pudding Mill Lane site
summarises the work thus :

Pudding Mill Lane portal, ramp and cut-and-cover box
The site is located between Marshgate Lane in the east and the River Lea in
the West. From the track level of the GEML, a ramp will descend to a portal
and cut and cover box, which starts immediately to the west of the existing
DLR station. The ramp continues to the tunnel eye, which is located
immediately to the east of the River Lea, from where the bored running
tunnels commence.

Changes to the DLR
The DLR will be realigned between the bridge over the River Lea and City
Mill River to accommodate the Crossrail running lines and the ramp into the
tunnel. The existing Pudding Mill Lane station will be demolished and a
replacement will be constructed on the bridge over Pudding Mill Lane itself.
The new station will have side platforms and will be longer than the
existing station to allow the future use of three car trains on the DLR.

Changes to the GEML
The line currently used by westbound One Great Eastern 'Metro' services will
be realigned to the south between City Mill River and the bridge over the
River Lea. It will cross the Crossrail lines by means of a bridge.

From Chapter 15 of Volume 08b of the Environmental Statement - which your
previous link also provides a route to, so I won't repeat it.
