Underground drilling is under way as part of major upgrades to sewer lines along the light rail route in Newcastle.

Although it’s considered the riskiest part of the project, the work is needed to pump out water and reinforce the line.

New sewer pipes will also be installed as part of the upgrade over the next few months.

Meanwhile, sections of the light rail track can now be seen in parts of the city, with the stations also starting to take shape.
