Case Study - Lidcombe Rail Bridge Refurbishment

Over the course of 100 years, the Lidcombe Rail Bridge located in Sydney’s Inner West has witnessed a number of transitions. Its longevity can be attributed to a pair of 150 tonne rivet constructed rail beams fashioned to withstand years of use. Unfortunately for the old rail bridge, it was due to undertake its final transition. Railcorp NSW decided that for the safety and well-being of their commuters, the overhead bridge bypassing Olympic Drive needed to be replaced.
