No. 77: Unnamed Lane/Travelling Stock Route, Parkes
We are upgrading level crossings between Parkes and Narromine as part of our work to build Inland Rail. While we do this, we need to temporarily close public roads.
The closure of the Travelling Stock Route in Parkes will be extended to install the new rail, eliminating the need for a second closure in the future. Travelling Stock Route will now remain closed until mid-February 2020.
Location of works
Unnamed Lane/Travelling Stock Route, Parkes, off Brolgan Road
What we’re doing
- Laying new rail and sleepers
- Build road formations and new plate over rail

What to expect
