ALTRAC Light Rail has confirmed that barrier removal or reduction will start in the coming months, taking the project one step closer to the start of operations.
Glenn Bentley, ALTRAC chief executive officer, said residents and businesses will notice changes in their areas as civil construction progresses towards completion and work begins to focus on systems installation.
“The construction team has laid track in 29 of the 31 zones and with around four kilometres left to be laid across the route, track installation will be complete in September,” Mr Bentley said.
“We will have civil construction substantially completed by the end of 2018.
“The Community and businesses in the City and Surry Hills will notice barriers removed or barrier footprints and zones reduced by November, with zones in Moore Park and Randwick by December and Randwick and Kensington/Kingsford in early 2019.
“Where possible, zones may be opened sooner than these dates. There will still be localised barriers around stops while paving and cabling work is undertaken.
“Once the systems work is complete, we will energise the line to continue testing and commissioning of the system and the light rail vehicles.”
