Rail underpass re-opened

The Woy Woy Road rail underpass re-opened on August 1, following the completion of emergency repair works by Sydney Trains over the last three months.

Sydney Trains finished constructing protection columns around the rail bridge's support structures and installing new, 2.5 metre height restriction bars on both sides of the underpass.

Central Coast Council was putting the finishing touches on Sydney Trains repair works over last weekend (August 6-7) by installing median strips on the approaches to the underpass.

The council has asked motorists to be aware that the underpass' height limit has been reduced to 2.5 metres.

Anyone towing a caravan, carrying oversized objects on roof racks or driving a truck must use an alternate route.

Sydney Trains closed the underpass in April after a large truck attempted to use it and became wedged underneath one of the previous height restriction bars.
