We’re closing Webster Street at the level crossing and building a new road under the rail line, connecting Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street to Cheltenham and Hammond roads.

In April and May we're preparing the area for construction to start later this year, relocating utilities and setting up fencing.

What we’re doing

In April and May, we’ll:

  • undertake piling works on Thomas Street for the foundations of the new road underpass
  • relocate utilities on Thomas Street and Lonsdale Street-Service Road
  • set up site facilities on Broadlands Street
  • start construction preparation works on Lonsdale Street-Service Road.

What to expect

  • An increase in construction vehicles and workers in the area
  • Low to moderate levels of noise, dust and vibration
  • Tree trimming and vegetation removal

Changes to the way you travel

Thomas Street

From late February, ongoing:

  • Permanent closure of up to 84 car parks to make way for the new road underpass and site facilities
  • Free all day car parking is available at the Carroll Lane car park, near Dandenong Station. All-day paid car parking is available at Dandy Parking on Thomas Street. Access via Foster Street.
  • Visit the City of Greater Dandenong website for more parking in the area

From mid March to late May:

  • Permanent one way only southbound traffic, northbound lane closed
  • No left turn from Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street into Thomas Street

From late May, ongoing:

  • Closed at the southern end
  • Thomas Street can be accessed via Foster Street. There will be no access to or from Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street
  • Oversize or overmass vehicles will not be able to travel on Thomas Street.

Heart Street

April to May:
  • Intermittent on-street parking closures

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

There may be times when we need to close roads, lanes, parking and pathways to safely complete works. Signage and traffic management will be in place to help guide you through the area.

Access to businesses will be maintained.
