Euroa
Inland Rail is a 1600km freight rail line connecting Melbourne and Brisbane that will transform how goods are moved around Australia.
In Victoria we’re upgrading 262km of existing rail line between Beveridge and Albury at 12 sites, including Euroa, to allow double-stacked freight trains to pass safely and ensure everyday products can be delivered faster and more reliably.

In Euroa, we’re modifying the station precinct and replacing the Anderson Street bridge with a vehicle underpass to allow sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains.
Works include:
- relocating the western rail track
- building a new station platform
- adding a new pedestrian underpass
Construction started in May 2025.
Community feedback
We’ve worked with community, stakeholders and technical specialists to develop, review and determine the best solution for Euroa.
During engagement we’ve heard safety, connectivity, visual amenity and improving the look and feel of the station precinct was important to you and we’ve updated designs to deliver these outcomes.
In 2021:
We considered two options for replacing the Anderson Street bridge: a road overpass, where the road goes over the rail line and a road underpass where the road goes under the rail line.
Based on feedback we’re progressing the community’s preferred option of a vehicle underpass.
In early 2023:
We shared the latest information on the road underpass option. This option is the more complex solution, as it requires additional flood mitigations and road safety measures be incorporated into the design. To better understand this, we undertook additional technical investigations.
The hydrological modelling we shared showed the outcome of different sized floods on the proposed underpass and the impact this has on road safety and emergency management. We heard from the community that they understood the information shared about the required flood and safety mitigations and their preferred solution was unchanged.
In late 2024:
We’ve continued to share information and seek community feedback as the designs have progressed.
Based on this feedback, we are:
- enhancing the look and feel of the precinct with a new station forecourt
- adding car parking both sides of the station
- improving access with lifts, ramps and stairs
- including new pedestrian underpasses
- building a network of pathways to better connect the community parklands and open spaces.
In late 2024, we shared the latest design and sought your preferences on landscaping, urban design finishes, colour palettes and heritage interpretation options. The final plan for these elements will be determined based on a range of feedback sources including community input. It is also subject to acceptance from relevant future asset managers.

What’s next?
Construction has started in Euroa.
Our construction partner John Holland will work with the community and inform them of what to expect during construction.
Community members can continue to talk to the team by calling into our shopfront or contacting us.
