The Djilang Alliance has today been awarded the contract to deliver the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication project.
The alliance brings together construction and design experts McConnell Dowell, Downer, Arup and WSP, who have formed the team to help deliver more frequent and reliable services and better stations for passengers on Victoria’s busiest regional rail line.
The project includes:
-
Duplicating around 8km of track between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds
-
Rebuilding South Geelong and Marshall stations: new station buildings and forecourts, second platforms and accessible pedestrian overpasses
-
Removing the level crossings at Fyans Street and Surf Coast Highway, replacing with elevated rail bridges
-
Upgrading signalling systems between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds
-
Creating more than 5km of new shared-use paths linking to existing trails and paths, making a continuous connection for cyclists and pedestrians for the first time between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds.
