Construction begins on Stage 1 of Melbourne Airport Rail Link

Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications

The Stage 1 works include upgrades to Sunshine Station, with 6 kilometres of new track and 2 new rail bridges.

Sunshine Station will be expanded, with a longer concourse and 2 new regional platforms.

The work will transform Sunshine into a major transport hub, remove bottlenecks and allow more frequent train services.

This project is co-funded through the Australian and Victorian governments and is a critical step in the development of the new Melbourne Airport Rail Link.
