The completion of the $2.1 billion light rail line in Sydney will be delayed by up to five months following the detection of about 400 unused electrical and telecommunications cables under George Street.
The government had originally wanted the work on two zones in George Street finished before Christmas. But the additional work required to locate the owners of the utilities means that construction between King and Park streets will not be completed until April or May.
However, the consortium charged with building the light rail line, ALTRAC, said the delays would not alter the original completion date of 2019 for the entire 12-kilometre line.
