Murray Basin Rail Project Update

The Ararat-Maryborough rail freight line will be closed to trains from midnight November 2 2022 to 7.30pm December 15, 2022. The shutdown is in place to allow the ballasting and tamping of the track to complete the upgrade that commenced earlier this year with the re-railing of the line.

Please be advised that the rail corridor will remain a dangerous construction site during this time, despite the absence of trains, with heavy machinery using the line and heavy vehicles using the Pyrenees Highway and adjacent sites. The public is reminded not to enter the rail corridor.

For more information, contact Max Berry on 1800 105 105.
