Below the Hume Fwy at Tallarook and Seymour, train tracks are set to be lowered to accommodate the clearance of double-stacked freight trains.
The tracks will be lowered by 1.5m to 2.1m under each bridge and works will be undertaken up to 500m and 1km either side of the bridge.
Visualisations of the two sites have been made available.
In Broadford, Inland Rail will replace the Marchbanks Rd bridge to provide sufficient height and width clearance for the safe passage of double-stacked freight trains.
The new bridge will be higher, however it will be on the same alignment as the existing one.
The new visualisations of the three sites will be presented by Inland Rail and construction partner John Holland in the respective towns.
The first session was held in Broadford on April 30.
The upcoming sessions are:
- Wednesday, May 7: Country Soul Cafe, Broadford, from 10am to 1pm
- Friday, May 9: Commonwealth Bank, Station St, Seymour, from 10am to 1pm
- Saturday, May 10: Country Soul Cafe, Broadford, from 10am to 1pm
- Wednesday, May 14: Country Soul Cafe, Broadford, from 10am to 1pm
- Wednesday, May 21: Country Soul Cafe, Broadford, from 10am to 1pm

“We look forward to presenting the new visualisations and talking to the community over the next month,” Inland Rail Beveridge to Albury delivery director Wed Walker said.
“Project engineers will be available at all engagement sessions to answer any detailed or technical questions people may have.”
