Construction fences have been pulled back along parts of Canberra's historic buildings as light rail works continue ahead of schedule and vehicles are fitted with battery systems.
Canberra's light rail vehicles will be able to travel between Alinga Street and Commonwealth Park on battery power when operations on the network extension begin in early 2028, with ACT Transport Minister Chris Steel saying the track construction was still ahead of schedule.
"We're actually quite confident that it will be delivered on time," he said.
