John Holland has been selected by the NSW Government to deliver enabling works for Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2, which includes a public and active transport bridge linking Wentworth Point and Melrose Park across the Parramatta River.
The bridge, a key feature of the project, will connect communities on both sides of the river. Its innovative long-span cast-in-situ balanced cantilever design requires only two piers in the river, minimising disruption to waterway users and protecting the sensitive marine environment.

The 1.3km enabling works cover the bridge and its approaches on both sides of the river. This marks the first critical stage of the light rail extension, which will eventually connect the Olympic Peninsula with Greater Parramatta once complete.
The Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 Enabling Works project is the latest in a series of critical infrastructure projects delivered by John Holland in Western Sydney. Other current projects include the M7-M12 Integration Project, which is expected to open to traffic in 2026, and the Upper South Creek Advanced Water Recycling Centre.
