Sandgate Flyover, Railway bridge in Newcastle, Australia

The Sandgate Flyover spans across Kooragang Island, carrying the Main North railway line with two tracks made of prestressed concrete.

The Australian Rail Track Corporation completed this grade-separated railway bridge in 2006 to improve regional rail transport efficiency.

The construction represents a major infrastructure advancement for Newcastle, connecting communities through enhanced railway transportation.

The flyover enables coal trains to access Port Kooragang without interrupting services on the Main North Line, increasing operational speed to 60 kilometers per hour.

The bridge eliminated railway conflicts by raising main lines over coal lines, expanding bulk coal handling capacity by 20 million tonnes annually.
