25 May 2023
We’re making the Frankston Line level crossing free by removing all 27 of the dangerous and congested level crossings by 2029 and building 17 new stations, improving safety, reducing congestion and allowing more trains to run more often.
What we're doing
Construction activities to remove the level crossings at Glen Huntly Road and Neerim Road will take place 24/7 from Friday 2 June. During this time buses will replace trains while we dig the trench and build the new station. In early August, the station and roads will re-open with the level crossings gone for good.
During the main construction period, we’ll:
- dig out 220,000 cubic metres of material from the rail trench
- deliver construction equipment and materials
- demolish existing rail assets and rebuild them
- build 2 road bridges over the trench
- build the new Glen Huntly Station, ready for passengers in early August 2023.
What to expect
While we work, you will notice:
- Neerim Road will be closed to traffic from 9pm Monday 29 May
- 24-hour works across the project area
- increased noise and vibration from construction machinery, trucks and buses
- an increase in workers, trucks, vehicles, and equipment in the area
- impacts to all local roads in and around the project area
- traffic management in place to help guide motorists and pedestrians through the area safely.
