Premier Colin Barnett today visited the Perth City Link rail project site to mark the start of work on the Fremantle Line tunnel.
He said the $360m rail component, set to be completed in 2014, ‘underpinned the delivery of the entire Perth City Link vision’.
“The Perth City Link will fundamentally change the face of Perth and benefit both local people and visitors to our city through reconnecting the CBD and Northbridge for the first time in 100 years,” Mr Barnett said.
“With the Perth Waterfront, Riverside Development, the Perth Cultural Centre and new Perth Stadium, the Perth City Link is part of an era of transformation and I hope all West Australians embrace and enjoy these exciting changes.”
Mr Buswell said there would be a number of upgrades to Perth Station, including a new pedestrian underpass, linking all platforms to Perth Underground Station, and a new platform on the Roe Street side.
