Tamworth Intermodal on track for delivery
A major upgrade of the Tamworth Intermodal rail line is on target for delivery with the NSW Australian government announcing AUD 28 million (EUR 17.3 million) to support regional NSW’s freight sector, creating hundreds of regional jobs.
This funding will restore and raise five km of track on the West Tamworth to Barraba line and install new level crossings to activate railfreight access to Tamworth’s new regional freight terminal.
When complete, a functioning intermodal rail hub and freight terminal in Tamworth will create a direct rail route to vessels docked at Port Botany, saving businesses significant freight costs, the government said. (ben)
