The Forrestfield-Airport link is jointly funded by the Australian and Western Australian governments and will devlier a new rail service to the eastern suburbs of Perth. The rail link forms part of the METRONET vision to create liveable communities connected by world class public transport. There’s 8.5km of tracks, and 94 percent of it is underground – that’s 8km of twin-bored tunnels.
Constructing the railway underground is great news for the environment, and must be carefully managed for workers, as high temperatures can be an issue.
