Acciona and Ferrovial have been awarded the contract to build the central section of Sydney Metro West, the new underground rail line that runs through a large part of Australia's largest city. The project will link The Bays station with the Sydney Olympic Park. Australia’s largest public transport project, Sydney Metro West will be a 24km rail line connecting the Greater Parramatta area to Sydney’s central business district in 20 minutes. Elsewhere in Australia, an Acciona-led consortium recently won the tender to modernise part of the Frankston railway line in Melbourne. The State of Victoria also recently awarded Acciona the contract to upgrade the Hurstbridge rail line in Melbourne, as part of a total infrastructure project valued at AU$530 million (€340 million).
