Work being done

Low impact activities associated with the works, such as machinery re-fueling, managing environmental controls and traffic control may occur outside of the scheduled hours.

Some temporary traffic changes at level crossing are expected as part of these works. Residents will be notified in advance of any temporary traffic changes or out-of-hours work.

Local residents should be aware that live on-track machines, including the ballast train, will be active during these works. Please follow all traffic control signage at level crossings.

Works will involve:

  • Rail construction finishing works including tamping and destressing activities
  • Road sealing, line marking and signage installation at level crossings
  • Level crossing upgrade and finishing works
  • Upgrading signaling and communications equipment
  • Surveying
  • Installing signage, fencing and landscaping within the rail corridor.

What can I expect

  • Rolling stock operating on the rail lines
  • Trucks and other vehicles will enter and exit the construction site via multiple access gates
  • Changed traffic conditions will be in place at level crossings
  • Construction machinery and equipment operating on site
  • Delivery of materials and equipment
  • Motorists should follow traffic controls and drive with caution.

Machinery used

  • Hi-rail vehicles,
  • ballast train,
  • rolling stock (tamper and regulator) trucks,
  • excavators,
  • loaders,
  • rollers and
  • watercarts will be used within the construction area.

How we’re managing impacts

  • water carts will be on site to wet down areas to assist in managing dust.
