Reed Project
 Southern Sydney Freight Line
Progress
 The project continues to be in partial suspension by the Client. The Reed Group has completed all bridges and drainage culverts not affected by suspension. There has been no significant progress in earthworks or retaining walls, except in Cabramatta where a short section of retaining wall is being constructed and in Glenfield where some drainage channel works and reinforced earth walls are ongoing. Lifting of suspension is still on schedule by mid 2010.
