Explore Inland Rail’s Narromine to Narrabri section


 

Narromine to Narrabri is one of 12 sections which comprise the 1,600 km Inland Rail fast freight rail line that will connect Melbourne to Brisbane.

The final proposed rail alignment for the Narromine to Narrabri section is the result of extensive community engagement, continuous design refinement and 15 years of rigorous engineering and environmental investigations by some of Australia’s most trusted consultants.

Construction of this section will include:

  • 306 km of new rail corridor
  • 75 bridges and viaducts
  • Seven crossing loops, each up to 2.2km long
  • 48 public level crossings (crossing treatments to be confirmed)

Bridge over Wee Waa Road and Narrabri viaduct


The northern section of the Narromine to Narrabri alignment will run west of Narrabri township. The section around Narrabri will be constructed on a 4km long concrete viaduct and will cross The Island Road, Narrabri Creek, Naomi River and Wee Waa Road before joining the Turrawan Line north of Narrabri.

This animated visualisation begins with a driver’s perspective, travelling west along Wee Waa Road (also known as the Kamilaroi Highway) and under the viaduct, before taking flight and showing the section around Narrabri from the air.

This visualisation is an indicative representation and is for illustration purposes only. It should not be considered the final design, which will be subject to change due to detailed design refinements.
