Beveridge to Albury Construction & works Progress News

A 650-tonne Superlift crawler crane, which towered above the Wangaratta skyline this month, was used to install the 200-plus tonne steel bridge structure.

About 150 people turned out to watch the bridge lift, excited to see the progress continuing at Wangaratta.

Green Street bridge is being replaced and the tracks have been lowered to allow double-stacked freight trains to use the line.

The new Green Street bridge will be opened by the end of the year.

Check out the pictures of the crane as it manoeuvres the bridge with exact precision.
