Inland Rail has released the latest designs of Hume Freeway and Marchbank Road sites
Images of the two Hume Freeway sites and the Marchbanks Road bridge replacement in Broadford have been released by Inland Rail before construction begins later this year.
Inland Rail is lowering the tracks under the Hume Freeway at Tallarook and Seymour and replacing the Marchbanks Road bridge to provide sufficient height and width clearances to allow the safe passage of double-stacked freight trains.
Tracks will be lowered by 1.5 to 2.1 metres under the bridges and work will be undertaken up to 500 metres to one kilometre either side of the bridge to create the safe gradient and clearance for double-stacked trains.
The new Marchbanks Road bridge will be higher and wider and will replace the existing structure on the same alignment.
Residents can find out more information by talking to the Inland Rail team this Wednesday, May 7, at the Country Soul Café in Broadford, also at the same venue on Saturday, May 10, Wednesday, May 14 and Wednesday, May 21. An opportunity also exists this Friday, May 9 at the Commonwealth Bank, Station Street, Seymour. All meetings are from 10am to 1pm on the nominated days.
Information is also available online at inlandrail.info/designs or phone 1800 732 761 or email inlandrailvic@inlandrail.com.au.
