‘‘We have now reached the point where we have to move the railway track near St Leonards, so that we can accommodate the shared path,’’ he said. The area where the rail is being realigned runs between the St Leonards Boat Club and Curles Point. To minimise disruption to trains, the work has to be done during weekends, for periods of up to 68 hours. Contractor Downer had planned to finish this work by the end of August, but work was halted by the Covid-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown. The 24-hour work will continue this weekend, from 7am on Saturday, September 11, to 5pm on Monday, September 13.
