Inland Rail Broadford bridge demolition and site works

Separately, the old bridge crossed Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) and V/Line tracks. Also, excavators with specialised attachments were used for the demolition. In addition, about 400 tonnes of rubble were removed and recycled. Meanwhile, this took place during the Albury Line shutdown, as Railway Supply reported. At the same time, that shutdown allowed large-scale works to proceed.

Meanwhile, Short Street Bridge is being replaced with a new, higher structure. Also, track lowering is under way beneath it, as Inland Rail notes. In addition, those changes will provide enough clearance. At the same time, double-stacked freight trains will have enough clearance to pass through.
