A tunnel underneath Moore Park and a bridge over the Eastern Distributor roadway facilitate access to Randwick, Kensington and Kingsford. Light rail redefines travel through the city, decongesting key routes through the CBD and linking up with important locations such as the sporting and entertainment facilities in Moore Park and Randwick, along with the University of NSW, TAFE and hospital precincts. The project design has increased pedestrian space through the creation of a pedestrian boulevard in the CBD and pocket parks in Surry Hills.

Investigatory works continue along the alignment as the team prepares to reposition and protect the complex network of utilities that lie beneath the city’s major road alignment. The recently released construction schedule is on track with works in the CBD to commence in October this year. Construction will be completed in 31 distinct zones along the alignment, to minimise, as much as possible, the impacts of construction on any one area. The light rail is expected to be open for customers in 2019.
