New bridge installed at Wandong in milestone for Beveridge to Albury project in Victoria - Feb 2026

Описание: Inland Rail has lifted into place a new higher bridge in Wandong to make way for double-stacked freight trains to use the line.

Wondering how we built the new 35m long and 14.5m wide Broadford-Wandong Road bridge?

A 600-tonne crane lifted the new steel structure into place following assembling the 246-tonne bridge on site.

The successful installation of the bridge is a significant milestone for Inland Rail in Victoria. The existing bridge will be demolished once the new bridge is opened to traffic later this year.

Inland Rail is a 1600km freight rail line that will connect Melbourne and Brisbane via regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, enhancing Australia’s national freight network and supply chain capabilities, connecting existing freight routes through rail, roads and ports, and supporting Australia’s growth.

The Victorian section of Inland Rail includes upgrading 262km of existing rail track between Beveridge, north of Melbourne, and the Victoria-NSW border at Albury-Wodonga.

The Inland Rail sections between Beveridge in Victoria and Parkes in New South Wales are prioritised for completion by 2027.
