ARTC to replace Ironbark Creek Bridge near Sandgate, NSW, with $60M project starting mid-2027.

The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) plans to replace the aging Ironbark Creek Bridge near Sandgate, NSW, with a $60 million project expected to begin in mid to late 2027. Built in the early 1900s, the bridge has deteriorated, leading to speed restrictions since March 2023 that increase travel times. The new concrete bridge will be built adjacent to the existing structure to maintain rail operations, and the project aims to improve efficiency for freight and passenger services.
