WORKS at Wangaratta and Glenrowan railway stations associated with the Inland Rail project are “continuing at pace”, according to Ed Walker, Inland Rail delivery director – Beveridge to Albury.
“Over the next few weeks locals will see construction of the new western car park, the new western platform and pedestrian ramps, stairs and lifts at Wangaratta Railway Station,” he said.
“The Green Street bridge is also being prepared for the bridge deck over the rail line to be installed in September.”
Mr Walker said fire hydrant relocation works will continue to see a reduced number of car park spaces at Wangaratta Railway Station until August 16.
He said construction work on the project in Wangaratta is happening seven days a week, from 7am to 7pm.
