The alliance will also be able to extend the contract to remove an additional four railroad crossings, subject to the completion of the first two projects in accordance with strict performance guidelines.

The government has already an initiative to remove 50 of the most dangerous and congested railroad crossings throughout the city of Melbourne.

KBR along with its partners removed the first four railroad crossings last year as part of the programme.
