  • New England Highway Maitland - Railway Station Roundabout
    NEW ENGLAND HIGHWAY MAITLAND - RAILWAY STATION ROUNDABOUT Options assessment report: Determination of preferred option June 2013 SUMMARY Purpose This paper outlines Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) processes and considerations for determining a preferred option for upgrading the roundabout on the New England Highway adjacent to Maitland Railway Station. The RMS preferred option for the Railway Station Roundabout is grade separation of the Highway over the roundabout for east bound traffic. The estimate for the preferred option for the Railway Station Roundabout is estimated at $45 million (2013 dollars) which includes a contingency. Key Issues • In September 2011, the NSW Government confirmed $45 million for upgrades to improve safety and traffic efficiency at the Maitland roundabouts, through the Hunter Investment and Infrastructure Fund. • Maitland was by-passed in the 1980’s with construction of a five kilometre length of dual carriageway and three at-grade intersections that provide access at the southern, central and northern edges of the business district. The main access points are a roundabout adjacent to Maitland Railway Station that provides access to the city centre (the “Railway Station Roundabout”), and a roundabout at the northern edge of the business district adjacent to Maitland Hospital (the “Hospital Roundabout”). • The Railway Station Roundabout has a higher order function than the Hospital Roundabout as it provides an intersection of two State Roads: the New England Highway and Cessnock Road. Cessnock Road links Maitland to Kurri Kurri and Cessnock and will be the link between Maitland and the Hunter Expressway. The Hospital Roundabout provides access to Maitland Hospital and the Maitland business district via a local road, and provides other local road connections to commercial, industrial and residential areas, and Telarah Railway Station.

  • Great Northern Railway
    THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY NOMINATION FOR AWARD OF HISTORIC ENGINEERING MARKER Great Northern Railway at Honeysuckle Railway Station late 1800s, looking east Prepared for Engineering Heritage Australia (Newcastle) by GNR–150 Coordinating Committee Great Northern Railway 1 Historic Engineering Marker INTRODUCTION The Great Northern Railway (GNR) was so named by NSW Governor Dennison at its opening on 30 March 1857. The 150th anniversary occurs on 30 March 2007 when it is planned to celebrate the event in Newcastle and Maitland. Community groups are combining to arrange the celebrations, led by Engineering Heritage Australia (Newcastle). The Governor of NSW, Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO, has accepted an invitation from Engineers Australia to take part in the celebrations. As part of celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the opening, a committee has been formed which has brought together members of Engineers Australia with other community and railways historical groups to ensure that the maximum publicity is generated for the occasion. With the support of Rail Corporation New South Wales (Railcorp) it is planned to have ceremonies at both ends of the relevant section of railway line with historical trains being used for taking participants between the two. The civil infrastructure for railways is the oldest infrastructure in Australia of which much is still in regular use. Compared to its importance in the development of the country, this infrastructure is not well represented in the Historic Engineering Plaquing Program. To date 12 railway-related works have been awarded plaques but, of those, only three or four cover substantial lengths of track which are still in use for regular service.
