Bourke St Spencer St planned renewal

[Mal Rowe]

Transport Victoria have announced renewal of the tracks at the corner of
Bourke St and Spencer St over the period from 16Feb to 26 Feb next year.

See: https://bit.ly/48Lbe40

The junction was last relayed in April 2011.  My pic attached.

years of use, mostly by E class trams

Can you cc this to Sydney Light Rail?

I cross this intersection numerous times during my stays in Melbourne. 

I notice the large amount of weld (and aspiring cracks) on the curves.

I'm sure the photo has been posted here before but it's worth reposting given the subject.

"The photograph shows a section of remnant track at the intersection of Bourke and Spencer Sts that remained until it was removed on 25/8/1987 when connecting curves were installed at Bourke and Spencer Streets, forming a double track triangular junction, in preparation for the conversion of the St Kilda and Port Melbourne railway lines to 'light rail'.
