Webuild has announced a milestone for the Forrestfield-Airport Link project in Perth, Australia. The project has seen the laying of the first km of track along the metro rail transit line near the Redcliffe Station, following the completion of tunneling in April.
Webuild and NRW, a local joint-venture partner, will contract Australian company Martinus Rail lay around 40 km of rail. There is also progress on the preparation for the installation of the overhead line equipment and the complex systems for communications and signaling.
Once completed, the 8.5-km-long Forrestfield-Airport Link will allow residents to commute between the eastern suburbs and the center in 20 minutes, each way, versus 45 minutes by car. The rail service is expected to transport 20,000 passenger trips per day by 2022, potentially taking 15,000 vehicles off the roads every day and reducing CO2 emissions.
