Just last month (Aug), the state government of New South Wales opened the city section of the Sydney Metro. This development promises to transform its surroundings by enhancing public spaces with vibrant transport precincts to catalyse renewal and improved connectivity across all modes.
As Australia’s biggest public transport project, the Sydney Metro is designed to create new communities, improve amenities, and deliver new integrated station developments across Greater Sydney by connecting Sydney’s northwest, west, south-west and the greater west.
The second Sydney Metro line became operational last month and will be complemented by three lines currently under construction: Southwest, West, and Western Sydney Airport.
Tunnel boring machine (TBM) Dorothy has completed its journey from the Clyde Maintenance Facility to Sydney Olympic Park.
Reception from Sydneysiders has been tremendous ever since the Sydney Metro was extended into the central business district last month through a series of underground stations. This provides great connectivity from the booming North West region by allowing speedy travel under the Sydney Harbour.
The value of rail in providing efficient connectivity and its ability to move many commuters in either direction at any given time without being subject to the constraints of road traffic is clearly demonstrated here with the addition of up to four metro lines over 113 km of fresh tracks serving 46 stations.
