Perth City Link
Coordinates: 31°56′56″S 115°51′18″E / 31.949°S 115.855°E Perth City Link is an urban renewal and redevelopment project under construction in Perth, Western Australia.
The project, bounded by the Mitchell Freeway, Wellington Street, the Horseshoe Bridge and Roe Street is being conducted on what was formerly land involved in the Perth/City railway yard and dedicated railway property west of Perth railway station. The land was used from the 1880s until the late 1990s by the railways, and by the time of early proposals for the project was no longer being used by the railway.
The project involves the sinking of the Fremantle railway line and Wellington Street Bus Station and the subsequent development of the 13.5 hectares of land reclaimed.
The $360 million rail project was the first stage of the Perth City Link. The scope of works included:
Work commenced in 2010 with the project initially scheduled for completion in mid-2014. By early 2013 the project was running six months ahead of schedule.
Tunneling commenced on 31 January 2012, with Premier Colin Barnett, Transport Minister Troy Buswell, Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi and Senator Louise Pratt (representing Federal Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese) taking part in a ceremony in which several documents were placed in a time capsule and buried at the station, to be unearthed in 2031.
