Though a precise construction timeframe was not provided, the plan envisages all work being completed by 2031. Sydney Metro is Australias biggest public transport project. An extension to Sydenham will open next year, followed by a further extension to Bankstown within 12 months. Accordingly, no ministerial press releases or related information issued by the Government from this date will be available on this website. The line will run via twin tunnels for its entire length. This article is about the rapid transit system. [41] Underground stations are to be delivered for The Bays, Five Dock, Burwood North, North Strathfield and Westmead as part of a Stations Package West contract, while the remaining stations will be delivered individually as part of integrated station developments. After years in development, the first line of the new Sydney Metro will begin operating on 26 May 2019. The first stage, Cudgegong Rd to Chatswood (Metro Northwest) has been recently completed and is in operation since 26 May 2019.

[45] Since July 2019, services take 37 minutes from end to end, at a frequency of every 4 minutes during peak hours and every 10 minutes at all other times. At the time, journeys on existing CityRail lines take up to three times as long. All Sydney Metro infrastructure like the stations, trains and railway tracks are owned by the NSW Government. [41] However, previous plans have shown connections between the Northwest line and Western Sydney Airport line potentially occurring at either Schofields (extending both lines), or Tallawong (through extension of the Western Sydney Airport line). Then, two new metro lines - including the Project - will progressively come online in the second half of the 2020s, servicing Greater Western Sydney. Metro development.

Since 2017, CBCity has advocated for a better outcome for the Metro Southwest project. Construction on Sydney Metro City & Southwest began in mid-2017. 1514. The Metro West documents show the cost of building the underground line will be significantly greater on a per kilometres basis than the City and Southwest project, and the Northwest rail line from Rouse Hill to Chatswood which opened in 2019. Metro stations are accessible for everyone. [73], Together with planned improvements to the Main Western line, the project is expected to increase capacity on the Sydney rail network by up to 60%, and allow for the movement of over 100,000 extra commuters across the network every hour. The final number of potential stations will be identified following community and industry consultation. In May 2021, the station locations of Pyrmont and Hunter Street were announced.[30].
