The foundation for a new sky-high metro station at Luddenham is also complete and ready for work on the station build to commence next month.<\/p>\n

Luddenham Station is one of six new stations for the metro railway line that will become a crucial connection for people visiting the new international airport.<\/p>\n

Situated up to 13.5 metres above ground, Luddenham Station will be the only station located on a viaduct.<\/p>\n

Three viaduct structures make up the combined 3.5-kilometre section of the alignment that will take metro services over key locations like Blaxland Creek, the Warragamba pipelines and Luddenham Road.<\/p>\n

More than 1,100 segments will be manufactured on the NSW Central Coast for the viaduct structures, which will be supported by 84 piers located every 28 to 40 metres.<\/p>\n

Work will commence on the Luddenham Station build next month with a concrete pour to form the station.<\/p>\n

When complete, Luddenham Station will deliver a rail service to the future research, innovation and commercial precinct in Luddenham and provide world-class travel for people in an area with limited public transport options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
