Major road and rail crossings to be made safer for future Inland Rail

Early work is about to start to pave the way for removal of two railway level crossings and improved safety at key locations along the Inland Rail project corridor near Parkes and Illabo in regional New South Wales.

The Australian Government is investing $280 million and the NSW Government is contributing $70 million in the project, which will improve road and rail safety while allowing freight to be delivered faster and more reliably.

Level crossings on the Newell Highway at Tichborne and on the Olympic Highway at Harris Gates will be removed and replaced using grade separation as either overpasses or underpasses.
