The Albury to Illabo section of Inland Rail includes enhancements along approximately 185km of existing rail corridor from the Victoria-NSW border to Illabo in regional New South Wales.
While we will use the existing rail line, we need to make enhancements and modifications to provide sufficient height and width to support the safe running of double-stacked freight trains.
Works will include enhancements to:
- rail tracks
- footbridges and road bridges
- overhead structures
- signal structures
- level crossings.
The Albury to Illabo project is now in the reference design stage. During this time, we are conducting various studies and consulting with landowners and other key stakeholders to finalise plans for this project.
