Early works for Inland Rail begin in Wangaratta
The early works will involve delivery and storage of materials and equipment and ground preparations at 10 Green Street and utility investigation works around the railway station, including Cusack and Spearing streets.
Residents can expect minor vegetation removal in the project area, traffic management and speed restrictions, trucks and other vehicles entering and exiting the work site from Green Street, and heavy vehicles including loaders, excavators and rollers operating on site.
Inland Rail is transforming how goods are moved around Australia. Double-stacked trains will deliver freight to the growing population, and beyond to global markets. It also means safer, less congested roads and fewer carbon emissions.
Currently there is not enough clearance under the two station footbridges or the Green Street bridge for double-stacked freight trains.
To increase clearance in Wangaratta, plans include:
- removing the two Wangaratta Station footbridges and replacing them with a single pedestrian underpass
- lowering the tracks and replacing the Green Street bridge in the same location on the same alignment.
- relocating the existing track and platform on the eastern side of Wangaratta Station, so it sits parallel to the current track on the western side of the station.
Ed Walker, ARTC Victoria and South Australia Projects General Manager, said:
“Wangaratta residents can expect to see more Inland Rail activity over the coming weeks as we prepare the site for construction of the new bridge and pedestrian underpass.
“Construction activity will bring opportunities for local businesses to participate in delivering the work, but there will also be a positive flow-on effect for motels, retailers, cafes and restaurants and service providers.”
Tom Foley, McConnell Dowell Project Manager, said:
“Work is well underway at Glenrowan and Barnawartha North and we are looking forward to beginning construction in Wangaratta and Seymour.
“We will keep local residents informed of all upcoming works and endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum.
“Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we carry out these works.”
