This is the thread to post upcoming project openings.

Both the community open days/official opening events and dates when projects are open to traffic/passengers.

Thought it would be a good idea to consolidate this list in the one place without needing to click through pages of discussion.

Beaudesert town centre bypass

Around lunchtime, Thursday 21 September 2017, the Beaudesert town centre bypass was opened to traffic.

Reading material here:

Locals are not very impressed with the bypass. Many would prefer a much longer bypass to remove trucks from more of the town.

Trucks are increasingly frequenting Beaudesert due to the Bromelton Industrial area which has connections to rail freight..

The bypass uses a long marked alignment, there is a southern section following the south western edge of the town to meet with the Mt Lindesay Hwy in the NSW direction.

Photos to be posted in another thread.

First Sydney Metro Train arrives.

Just posting this here to talk about the delivery complete, not to talk about the project overall.

For reference this is the real thing




Mr historyworks is off elsewhere poo-poing the nose design of the real one, maybe he prefers this one?

Interestingly, seems the NSW Govt media releases aren't uploaded to their website on the day of the media release. Nothing here currently:
