Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2: Construction Update at Melrose Park & Wentworth Point

Construction is continuing to progress, with work on the new bridge structures set to begin in October. The first section of the bridge will be poured next week, with additional concrete pours planned throughout the month at both the Melrose Park and Wentworth Point sites.

At Wentworth Point, foundation works are nearing completion, allowing construction of the future Active Transport Link, which will provide improved walking and cycling connections, to move forward.
