Wodonga's rail bypass
 |
|
|
The first sod has been turned on the new railway station in Wodonga.
This new station will be a contemporary building that reflects the status of Wodonga as a major regional city.
Work is progressing well on refurbishing three V/Line trains – the trains will have new air conditioning, new toilets and soft furnishings.
This project will deliver significant improvements to regional public transport users by providing a more efficient, more comfortable and reliable service.
Starting works on the new train station signifies the great progress made on the project so far.
We have started work on all of the seven bridges that will be part of the bypass.
The next major milestone for the project is completion of bridges, including those at Melrose Drive and Lincoln Causeway then the start of track works in early 2010.
The bypass will enable us to remove 11 level crossings from Wodonga allowing the revitalisation of the city centre.
The Wodonga Rail Bypass Project is part of the $612.8 million North East Rail Revitalisation Project.
Communities all the way along the corridor from Melbourne to Albury-Wodonga will benefit from a high quality rail service which will boost key regional centres and encourage regional growth and development.
The North East Rail Revitalisation Project, including the Wodonga Rail Bypass will be completed in the second half of 2010.
