Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 has been given the green light to begin construction of the main works, a project which will eventually connect Sydney's second CBD with Sydney Olympic Park.
Construction of the new 10 kilometre route will begin in early 2027 that will link Camellia, Rydalmere, Ermington, Melrose Park, Wentworth Point and Olympic Park over 14 light rail stops.
Procurement will begin in the coming weeks for the next phase of construction works, known as Stage 2a, from Camellia to Wentworth Point.
Main Works will deliver:
- 4.5kms of track
- A new bridge linking Camellia and Rydalmere
- Nine new stops
- An expanded Stabling and Maintenance Facility
- Additional light rail vehicles
Construction of Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 is being delivered in phases. Major construction is already underway on the first phase - the enabling works for Stage 2, which includes the construction of piles that will hold the first new public and active transport bridge crossing of the Parramatta River in nearly 40 years.
