Sydney Metro West is a new 24-kilometre metro line with stations confirmed at Westmead, Parramatta, Sydney Olympic Park, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock, The Bays, Pyrmont and Hunter Street in the Sydney CBD.
This new underground metro railway will double rail capacity between Greater Sydney and the Sydney CBD, with customers able to get from Parramatta to the Sydney CBD in around 20 minutes on a fast, safe and reliable driverless metro train.
Tunnelling work along the line is to be delivered under three packages:
- Western Tunnelling Package (Westmead to Sydney Olympic Park)
- Central Tunnelling Package (Sydney Olympic Park to The Bays)
- Eastern Tunnelling Package (The Bays to Sydney CBD)
Acciona Ferrovial Joint Venture (AFJV) has been awarded the contract to design and construct the Sydney Metro West - Central Tunnelling Package (CTP).
The contract includes:
- Twin 11-kilometre metro railway tunnels from The Bays to Sydney Olympic Park;
- Excavation and civil works for five new stations at The Bays, Five Dock, Burwood North, North Strathfield and Sydney Olympic Park;
- Two double-shield, hard rock tunnel boring machines (TBMs);
- A crossover cavern at Burwood North and a precast facility at Eastern Creek;
- More than 70,000 concrete segments to line the twin tunnels;
- Two access shafts at Burwood North and The Bays;
The project is due to start tunnelling in early 2023 at The Bays site (adjacent to the western end of Anzac Bridge, Rozelle), launching two TBMs that will travel underground in a west-bound direction and be retrieved at Sydney Olympic Park in late 2024. Demobilisation and project completion will occur in 2025. Subsequent contractors will be responsible for the tunnel fit-out and building the stations.
Further information on the project is available at sydneymetro.info/west, with an interactive portal (available here) to provide area-specific information to help you navigate the project.
