By GlobalDataThe successful tenderer will operate the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport line after the completion of the project.
This SSTOM package is the third ‘major’ contract package to be obtained for the project.
The contract is projected to be awarded at the end of next year.
In May this year, Sydney Metro started the tender process for selecting the operator of the new metro railway line under this project.
Later in July, the New South Wales (NSW) government sanctioned planning approval for the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport driverless metro project.
This metro track, which will cover roughly 23km, will run from Greater Western Sydney to the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.
The project is anticipated to generate around 14,000 jobs.
This metro railway, along with six stations between St Marys and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, is being jointly delivered by the Australian and NSW Governments.
