The project consists of modifying, extending, replacing, or installing approximately 4,219 metres of railway track. Works are proposed Monday to Saturday, excluding Statutory Holidays, for 24 hours a day. This will allow works to be completed outside regular rail schedules. Construction activities include minor excavation and fill to bring new and modified railways tracks to the specified elevations.
