North Strathfield Rail Underpass
Project overview
This project included construction of a new rail underpass at North Strathfield and a new aerial concourse for Concord West Station.
Key benefits
- reduce waiting times for freight trains
- increases reliability of freight and passenger trains
- enables a 1,500 metre freight train to stand clear of the Main North Line so other trains can pass
The underpass means freight trains no longer need to cross over the existing tracks on the Main North Line.
In addition to the new concourse at Concord West Station, four new lifts were installed.
