The new pedestrian underpass at Handbury Street in Euroa has started to take shape as part of the Inland Rail project, with large sections lifted into place this month.
The underpass is one of two new connections being constructed as part of the upgraded Euroa Station Precinct.
A 450-tonne crane installed six concrete sections, each weighing between 26-28 tonnes.
Inland Rail said the new 13.5-metre long underpass will be “light and bright” at 3.3 metres high and 4.7 metres wide.
It will be accessible by stairs and ramps and feature improved cyclist access.
A new pedestrian underpass is also being installed at Euroa railway station and will include lifts, ramps and stairs.
Inland Rail is modifying the station precinct to provide sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains to use the line.
When complete, there will be a new Anderson Street vehicle underpass, two new pedestrian underpasses, a second station platform, additional car parking, a community forecourt and a network of pathways to better connect the parklands and open spaces.
Inland Rail is a 1600-kilometre freight railway that will connect Melbourne and Brisbane via regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
