Tasmanian rail network maintenance to be fast-tracked in time for election
Just four days out from the state election, the Federal Government has announced that the maintenance program underway across Tasmania’s rail network will be completed twelve months early, following its decision to bring forward $14 million originally earmarked to be spent next year.
Instead of late 2011, the maintenance work is now expected to be completed by the end of this year. The projects being delivered include bridge work, re-railing, re-sleepering, level crossing upgrades and better drainage.
All up, Tasmania will receive $61 million in rail maintenance funding, with the money brought forward being the final instalment.
Other works on the Tasmanian rail network announced in time for the election campaign:
Capacity improvements along Main North-South line ($31.6 million).
Capacity improvements at Rhyndaston ($24 million).
Upgrade of the Burnie to Melba Flats line ($15.7 million).
Upgrade of the Burnie to Western Junction line ($30.3 million).
Upgrade of the Hobart to Western Junction line ($20.3 million).
Upgrade of the Fingal Line ($5.7 million).
Upgrade of the Boyer Line ($1.07 million).
Improvement of the Bell Bay intermodal terminal ($5.2 million).
