Somewhat.

There's an entirely new station "behind" the current Stratford station -
A new building is being constructed including all passenger facilities
over the Stratford Box. Two international and two domestic platforms
will be built, a canopy link to Stratford main line station, and car
parking will be provided.
Works are also taking place at Waterden Road junction and the main
access road to Stratford station including a new bridge over the River
Lee.

There is also an extention to the DLR that will provide dual platforms
at the extsiting Stratford and a new terminus at the International
station.
