Union Road and Mont Albert Road works
We’re on track for the big dig at Surrey Hills and Mont Albert as we prepare to remove the 2 dangerous and congested level crossings at Union Road and Mont Albert Road in 2023 by lowering the rail line into an open trench.
These level crossings are 2 of Melbourne’s worst – the level crossing at Union Road was the site of a tragic incident in 2016 that resulted in 2 fatalities, and there have been at least 8 near misses at these crossings since 2005.
Construction crews will continue to work relocating utilities, building foundations for the trench walls and installing the first new station buildings ahead of the busy festive season.
