The completed works to date have included the removal of the existing Steam Ranger rail infrastructure, earthworks and excavation activities and the installation of drainage and services.

Progress updates will be reported via the Department for Infrastructure and Transport Website: Heysen Rail Crossing Project
On Monday 8 January 2024, early works will be commencing on the Heysen Boulevard rail crossing project. The early works will include removal of the rail and ballast, installation of underground services for electrical and wastewater together with some general site works and then replacement of the rail. This will all occur over the next few months whilst the Steam Ranger is not operating in Mt Barker.
The construction of the rail signalling and road will occur once design is completed with target date for completion of construction in the second half of 2024.
