THE South East Light Rail project has reached a significant milestone, with 100 per cent of the track complete in three zones.

More than 4.6km of track has now been laid along Alison Rd and parts of Anzac Pde between Todman Ave and High St, with 3.9km of track laid on other sections of Anzac Pde where work is still progressing.

The completion of the track work on Alison Rd means overhead wires can soon be installed, ahead of dynamic testing of the vehicles along that section.

Co-ordinator General Marg Prendergast said the progress on this important section of the route showed just how far the project had come.

“Light rail will transform public transport in the South East, by providing reliable turn-up and up services, running services every four minutes between the CBD and Moore Park and eight minutes on the branch lines in each direction,” Ms Prendergast said.

“As well as the completion of track, work is continuing on the first light rail stop on Alison Road.”

A spokeswoman for Transport for NSW said a safety campaign will be launched in the coming months, to ensure the community are aware of the changes associated with the start of testing, including live wires and moving vehicles.”
