The Regional Rail Link is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian governments with the Australian Government contributing $3.225 billion.
Dedicated regional tracks will be built from West Werribee Junction to Deer Park, then along the existing rail corridor from Sunshine to Southern Cross Station. When completed in early 2016, passengers on the Geelong, Bendigo and Ballarat lines will have a streamlined journey through the metropolitan system.
Regional Rail Link will increase the size of Victoria’s rail network by laying 90km of new track. The project also includes:
- two new stations at Wyndham Vale and Tarneit
- a rebuilt West Footscray railway station
- upgrades to Sunshine and Footscray stations
- improvements to the entrance and forecourt at Tottenham station
- two new platforms at Southern Cross Station
- removal of two level crossings at Anderson Road in Sunshine
- 13 road and rail grade separations through Wyndham Vale and Tarneit
- construction of a new rail bridge over the Maribyrnong River
