Tallarook
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 at the Hume Freeway bridge, Tallarook, to allow double-stacked freight trains to pass safely and ensure everyday products can be delivered faster and more reliably.
At the Hume Freeway bridge in Tallarook, we’re realigning the rail tracks and lowering them by 1.8 metres at the lowest point under the bridge.
Works will also include modifications to the existing bridge pier and abutments.
Lowering works will extend about 500-metres either side of the bridge to provide a gradual decline.
We don’t expect this work will have a large impact on the community, however we’ll continue to share information as the works progress.
Construction has started at Tallarook. Check out our image gallery to see our progress.
Our construction partner John Holland is working with the community to keep them informed of what to expect during construction.
Community members can continue to talk to the team by calling into our shopfront or contacting us.
