When I talked with engineers about this section a couple of years ago, they said the whole track (looking West) will be raised. Right now the line is more or less flat then slopes upward heading west - you can see this standing on the station platforms looking off in the distance. The track will be straightened so the slope is reduced which will have two upshots - less work at the king underpass, and easier on freight traffic which currently can't start heading west from a standstill there.
