Project Description
Inland Rail is a $15 billion, 1,727-kilometre (1,073 miles) ARTC railway line connecting the ports of Melbourne and Brisbane along a new route west of the Great Dividing Range mountains, allowing for the use of double-stacked freight trains.
Construction of the line is divided into 13 projects, with 733 kilometres of new track to be built and 994 kilometres of existing track to be upgraded.
Inland Rail means freight can be delivered faster and more reliably to the growing population, and beyond to global markets.
