    DELIVERING OUR TRANSPORT FUTURE NOW rail revitalisation gawler line Work will soon begin on the first stage of the Gawler line upgrade – the next step in the $2.6 billion, decade-long investment in public transport. > A concept image of an electric train at an upgraded station This upgrade includes a $293.5 million investment from the Australian Government towards the Gawler line and will help transform Adelaide’s rail network into a sustainable, state-of-the-art transport system providing faster, cleaner and more efficient services for customers. These significant Stage 1 works on the Gawler line will upgrade sections of the track between North Adelaide and Mawson Lakes and will involve: > upgrading the base layer > installing new gauge-convertible concrete sleepers > improving stormwater drainage > refurbishing/replacing rail > connecting the new Dry Creek railcar depot to the Gawler line. This upgrade is the first step towards electrification of the Gawler line, which is expected to be completed in 2013. Further information including timing of works, substitute bus timetables and modifications to the train timetable will be distributed to residents and commuters around one month prior to the start of construction. All project enquiries: 1300 782 454 Visit: www.infrastructure.sa.gov.au Email: [email protected] Construction works Due to the substantial nature of the works, and to ensure the upgrade is undertaken as safely and efficiently as possible, the Gawler line will be closed between Mawson Interchange and Adelaide Railway Station during construction. Works will begin in mid 2010, however the start date, length of time required for construction, and construction methodology is currently being determined in partnership with the construction contractors.
