We delivered the first tranche of the Inland Rail project in Victoria - the Beveridge to Albury (B2A) package - for the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC). The overall Inland Rail project will enable double-stacked freight trains to operate between Brisbane and Melbourne.
Our contract encompassed four 'rail enhancement' sites located in central and northern Victoria, as well as some corridor-wide works. The enhancement site works included bridge replacements at Glenrowan, Wangaratta, and Seymour; a new pedestrian underpass at Wangaratta; and track lowering. Corridor-wide scope included signaling works, track slews, and overhead utilities.
Our success in securing the contract was largely due to our collaborative approach to working with ARTC’s Inland Rail team, as well as our focus on employing as many local people on the project as possible. We provided work opportunities for more than 170 local people over the life of the project.
In awarding us this contract, ARTC Inland Rail Interim Chief Executive Rebecca Pickering said...
“We’ve selected McConnell Dowell based on their experience delivering major projects including multi-million dollar rail, bridges, railway stations, and roads in Australia, New Zealand, and globally.”
The project was completed in early 2025. For further information please visit the Inland Rail website.
