Known as the\u00a0Beveridge to Albury \u2013 Tranche 2 section<\/a>, John Holland will start site investigations and progress design work at\u00a0Benalla<\/a>,\u00a0Euroa<\/a>,\u00a0Wandong<\/a>,\u00a0Hume Freeway, Tallarook, Hume Freeway, Seymour<\/a>, and\u00a0three sites in Broadford<\/a>\u00a0on the existing North East rail line to allow for the safe passage of double-stacked freight trains.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Activities will include geotechnical investigations, ground water monitoring and additional surveys, as well as development of key management plans.<\/p>\n

Inland Rai<\/a>l\u2019s appointment of a construction partner for the remaining Victorian sites is on schedule for mid-2024, with major construction commencing in early-2025 and project completion in 2027.<\/p>\n

Inland Rail Program Delivery Director for Beveridge to Albury section Ed Walker said these works at the remaining eight sites in Victoria were an important step forward for Australia\u2019s largest infrastructure project.<\/p>\n

\u201cInland Rail is getting on with delivering the project,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve selected John Holland based on their experience delivering major civil and rail projects including Inland Rail Narrabri to North Star Phase 1 last year and the North East Rail Line Upgrade (NERL) in 2021. They are also responsible for delivering Melbourne\u2019s Metro Tunnel Project and Sydney Metro.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the coming weeks local communities will see the John Holland team on Tranche 2 sites carrying out early works for new bridges, track lowers and station modifications.<\/p>\n

\u201cInland Rail will look for every opportunity to involve local people and businesses in the project, to maximise the economic and social benefits for communities along the route.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Holland Executive General Manager Steve Butcher said this was an exciting project that would transform how goods were moved around Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that expanding the nation\u2019s rail freight network creates safer and less congested roads and minimises carbon emissions,\u201d Butcher said.<\/p>\n

\u201cProjects like these also create jobs and allows us to work with local businesses, leaving a positive legacy for regional communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis builds on our proud and longstanding partnership with ARTC to deliver transformative rail projects across the country, allowing us to leverage our skills and experience in providing end-to-end rail solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
