SYDNEY METRO ST MARYS STATION CONTRACT AWARDED

A$82.5 million contract for the St Marys Station transformation project, part of the Sydney Metro –Western Sydney Airport mega-project, has been awarded.

Laing O’Rourke was awarded the contract to build a new footbridge at the station.

The Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project is jointly funded by the Federal and New South Wales Governments at an estimated cost of $10.5 billion, with the Federal Government contributing $5.25 billion.

Work on the footbridge is expected to commence in April 2023 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Federal Minister of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, said, “The 55-metre-long concourse will provide customers with fast and easy connections to all areas of the station.

“New metro rail will be the transport spine for the Western Parkland City.”

The fully accessible concourse will enable commuters to seamlessly transfer between new metro platforms and suburban trains on the T1 Western Line.

It will also link to a new pedestrian plaza at the northern end of the footbridge and allow commuters to transfer from the newly expanded multistorey carpark at Harris Street.
