The Public Transport Authority of Western Australia has selected the Salini Impregilo - NRW Joint Venture, comprising Salini Impregilo and NRW Pty, as its preferred bidder to design, construct and maintain the Forrestfield-Airport Link.
The US$1.5 billion state government-funded project is a new train line that will connect Forrestfield to the city, opening up Perth’s eastern suburbs to the rail network for the first time and giving Perth Airport users a travel option five minutes faster than by car.
The rail link will connect with the existing Midland line near Bayswater Station and will run to Forrestfield through underground tunnels, to ensure minimal impact on the existing land and road network.
Transport Minister Dean Nalder said, “This is an incredibly exciting time for a project that will change the way the people of Perth, and in particular Perth's eastern foothills, travel to our city.
"The State Government has a proud track record of investing in important transport infrastructure projects and I look forward to another eventful year on this landmark project.”
