Warning of noisy night trackwork

RailCorp has warned of possible "noisy" night trackworks on the Peninsula in coming weeks.

Local residents have been advised that essential rail maintenance and upgrading works have been scheduled in the area, with some work taking place at the Rawson Rd and Koolewong level crossings.

Other rail work will take place along the Woy Woy track.

Track works at Woy Woy will include tamping, rerailing, resleepering, track adjustment, overhead wire works, removal of noxious weed and vegetation management, fibre optic cable installations and rail grinding.

RailCorp has stated that minor traffic delays may occur at level crossings while work is carried out though traffic controllers would assist with traffic flow.

The corporation noted that rail grinding and track tamping were noisy activities which may occur at night.

The works will be conducted from 2am on Saturday, June 11 through to 2am on Tuesday, June 14.

Buses will replace trains in both directions during the weekend.

For more information on these works, contact 9847 8583 from 8am to 5pm.
