Works are happening at 12 sites along the North East rail line, and are being delivered in two parts, called ‘tranches’.

Tranche 1 Construction Progress
McConnell Dowell was our construction partner for Beveridge to Albury Tranche 1 works. Construction occurred at Glenrowan, Barnawartha North, Wangaratta and Seymour. Works were also undertaken to relocate tracks, raise signal gantries and modify overhead powerlines along the North East rail line to provide sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains.
