Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) is upgrading approximately 35 km of track between Turrawan and Narrabri to improve reliability and capacity for grain, cotton, freight and passenger services.

By completing the ‘missing link’ between the Hunter Valley network and Inland Rail, it will increase efficiency between Northern NSW, Inland Rail and the port of Newcastle – and allow an increase in the freight volumes carried by rail.

Works include the replacement of existing steel and timber sleepers with heavy duty concrete sleepers, replacement of the existing rail with upgraded rail, partial level crossing upgrades and associated civil works.
