Downer EDI Limited announced that it had been awarded new rail infrastructure work in New South Wales valued at more than $90 million. Transport for NSW awarded Downer the Gosford Passing Loops Project which is one of four projects that form part of the broader Northern Sydney Freight Corridor (NSFC) Program. The NSFC Program is a jointly funded initiative of the Commonwealth and NSW governments to improve capacity and reliability of freight trains on the 155 kilometre rail line between North Strathfield and Newcastle.

Downer will be responsible for the design and construction of two new passing rail loops between Gosford and Narara. The works are expected to be completed by mid-2015.
