Sydney Metro anticipates the contract to be awarded by the end of next year.

Last month, Sydney Metro shortlisted two firms for executing construction work on this new metro railway line.

The shortlisted companies for the contract of surface and civil alignment works were Acciona Construction Australia and CPB Contractors.

The winning tenderer would be responsible for constructing more than 10km of viaducts, embankments, and bridges.

The contract also covered the employment of earthmoving plant operators, truck drivers, surveillance officers and security guards.

The Sydney Metro-Western Sydney Airport project is expected to generate as many as 14,000 job opportunities.

The 23km metro railway, along with the six stations between St Marys and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, is being jointly executed by the Australian and NSW governments.

Earlier this month, Sydney Metro confirmed two new metro stations at Pyrmont and Hunter Street in the central business district (CBD).
