ACT Light Rail Stage Two is a light rail (tram) project that will run from the Canberra CBD to Woden via the Parliamentary Triangle.
Due to the significant planning approval process required to construct light rail through the Parliamentary Triangle, Stage Two has been split into Stage 2A and Stage 2B. This project page relates to Stage 2B, which extends the line by nine kilometres from Commonwealth Park to Woden, including:
- nine light rail stops
- a new bridge over Lake Burley Griffin
- new bridges over intersecting roadways
- new pedestrian bridges, and
- wire-free running (no overhead wires) through the Parliamentary Triangle.
