Скачать или смотреть Sydney Metro bids thanks and farewell to the Sydney Monorail

The old Sydney Monorail has ended its role in helping deliver the city’s public transport future as part of Sydney Metro – Australia’s biggest public transport project.

In 2014, 60 steel beams of the Sydney Monorail were recycled and used to build a temporary road bridge at Norwest.
This meant Brookhollow Ave was only closed for a few months while the station was dug out underneath – not for up to three years as originally proposed.

The temporary road bridge is no longer needed because the final station structure is being built, so the old Monorail beams have now been pulled out.

“This was Sydney’s transport past helping build the city’s public transport future,” NSW Transport and Infrastructure Minister Andrew Constance said.

“We’re one step closer to Sydney Metro services starting in 2019 – the NSW Government is getting on with the job of bringing 21st century metro rail to Sydney’s booming North West, where the population will be twice the size of Canberra’s in coming decades.”
Norwest is one of eight new metro stations being built for Stage 1 of Sydney Metro, the $8.3 billion Sydney Metro Northwest project.
