8 May 2026

The Cranbourne and Pakenham lines are boom gate free and trains are running through the Metro Tunnel. We’re continuing construction on a new road under the rail line, connecting Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street to Cheltenham and Hammond roads. The new road underpass will open in spring – 2 years ahead of schedule.

What we’re doing

We’re installing new utilities at the intersection of Cheltenham and Hammond roads in May.

To safely complete works, a section of Cheltenham Road and the northern pedestrian path will be closed at night until late May. Please see map below.

What to expect

  • we’ll work on roads overnight from 9pm to 6am
  • at all other times we’ll work from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 7am to 3pm, Saturdays
  • road, lane and pedestrian path closures with detours and traffic management in place
  • increased noise, vibration, vehicles and workers in the area. Water carts and street sweepers will be used to minimise dust.

Any properties impacted by these works will be contacted directly. Access will be maintained for residents, businesses and emergency services.

We’ll make every effort to complete works on schedule; however, dates and times are subject to change.
