Description:
Tranche 2: progressing reference design
The Beveridge to Albury project spans from north of Melbourne to the VIC/NSW border at Albury-Wodonga.
This section of track needs to be modified to provide sufficient height and width clearances to allow double-stacked trains to use the line.
Work will be completed at 12 sites along the North East rail line, which runs mostly along the Hume Freeway, from the Murray River at Wodonga to Beveridge.
Work will be delivered in two parts, called ‘tranches’.
McConnell Dowell was announced in October 2022 as the construction partner for Beveridge to Albury Tranche 1 works. This includes 4 of the 12 B2A enhancement sites.
We’ll be working on eight sites in Tranche 2 to increase clearances by either lowering the rail, rebuilding the overbridges to increase head room, or a combination of both. The Euroa site requires the relocation of the current over bridge to a road underpass.
The Tranche 2 sites include:
Broadford-Wandong Road bridge, Wandong
Hamilton Street bridge, Broadford
Short Street bridge, Broadford
Marchbanks Road bridge, Broadford
Hume Freeway bridge, Tallarook
Hume Freeway bridge, Seymour
Euroa Station Precinct, Euroa
Benalla Station Precinct, Benalla
