The Road, Rail and Utility corridor has provided for an expanded five track rail corridor, road access and a power distribution system along an eight kilometre corridor circling the Ridley Island industrial site, putting in place expanded infrastructure for future development of industrial land around the Ridley Island area.
The construction process to bring the project to completion took two years, with a number of local contractors involved in the work over that period, the full listing of those companies that contributed to the project can be found from this media release from March of 2013 when the project was first announced.
Background information on Tuesday's event can be found here.
