Wangaratta Railway Station and Green St bridge works May 2024
Inland Rail will continue construction in and around Wangaratta Railway Station and Green Street bridge during May.
Work being done
Works on the new Green Street bridge will include removal of the western abutment with formwork and concreting for the new abutments and then installation of deflection walls adjacent to the rail track.
Construction of a crane pad will commence, in preparation for the upcoming lifting of the new bridge structure.
Station precinct works will include installation of drainage and trenching for electrical conduit and cabling. Piling and concreting for the stairs, ramp and lift shaft on the eastern side will also begin.
A pump station will be installed for the new pedestrian underpass and works will continue for the new western platform. Replacement of the existing traffic and pedestrian crossovers will take place at the station with some impacts to passengers and station access.
