A lot has been happening down at Gap Road in Sunbury.
Workers have now dug underneath the new rail bridge, and are more than halfway through removing 25,000 cubic metres of soil.
Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) said once the soil is removed, work will begin on the new section of Gap Road to run under the bridge.
The bridge deck itself is complete, trains are running again and overhead power and signalling infrastructure has been reinstated between the level crossing the Sunbury Station.
According to RPV, crews have finished digging a new drain, using a mini tunnel boring machine called a ‘Kaitlin’, which will prevent the new road from flooding by directing water towards the existing Melbourne Water drainage system.
Buses will replace trains between Sunshine and Sunbury stations from 9pm, Saturday August 13 to last service Tuesday, August 23 for major works on the Sunbury Line Upgrade.
