Hamilton Street Bridge Replacement on Inland Rail

under construction

The Hamilton Street bridge in Broadford, Victoria is being replaced with a new higher structure as part of the Inland Rail project. The rail tracks are being lowered to provide sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains. The new bridge includes the installation of seven beams, with the first two 35.5 metre beams weighing 35 tonnes each already installed. The beams will form a shared user pathway for pedestrians, cyclists, and mobility aids users, initially serving as a one-lane vehicle bridge to maintain connectivity while the adjacent road bridge is demolished and rebuilt.
