This is our last update for 2019, as the Barangaroo Station site will close from 6pm tomorrow, Friday 20 December 2019 to Sunday 5 January 2020. No work will be carried out while the site is closed, except for occasional inspections and maintenance activities. Work will resume at the Barangaroo Station site at 7am Monday 6 January 2020.

We've had a great year at Barangaroo, finishing all excavation of the new station, completing the first of twin tunnels under Sydney Harbour and more recently, welcoming the breakthrough of TBM Nancy. TBM Mum Shirl will take a rest over the holidays and is expected to reach Barangaroo in January.

Attached is a copy of the January 2020 update, which has information about TBM retrievals, as well as upcoming work in the station and crossover cavern.

Thank you for your continued cooperation as we deliver this essential infrastructure project and I hope you, your family and friends enjoy the festive season.
