Engineering firm Downer EDI has clinched a $90 million contract for a NSW rail infrastructure project aimed at removing bottlenecks on a major freight corridor.
The NSW government contract will see Downer create two passing rail loops on a stretch of track near Gosford on the state’s Central Coast.
Downer said the track was part of Australia’s busiest rail corridor linking Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and had the most serious bottlenecks on the east coast.
The works are expected to be completed by mid-2015.
