“This crossing loop will help to deliver more reliable services for passengers on the Ballarat line by enabling trains to make up time from any unexpected delays,” Ms Allan said.

Reflecting on the project's completion, McConnell Dowell's General Manager for Rail, Malcolm Tinkler, said this new rail infrastructure makes a positive contribution to Victoria's regional transport network and McConnell Dowell fully supports the State Government's rail improvement and enhancement program.
