We’re removing the level crossings at McDonald Street in Mordialloc and Station Street in Aspendale by building new rail bridges. We've already closed the Bear Street, Mordialloc level crossing and are building a new Mordialloc Station.

What we’re doing

Major construction is continuing throughout December as we continue to build the new rail bridges and install Mordialloc Station buildings. During this time, we’ll:

  • build a new footpath next to the stabling yard, which will link into the existing paths at George Woods Reserve and Park Street
  • continue piling, earth and civil works
  • deliver and install large, prefabricated station buildings and materials
  • install underground services at the Nepean Highway and Hearle Avenue intersection
  • carry out electrical and signal upgrades, install cables and remove overhead wires in the rail corridor.

We’ll be in touch with directly impacted residents and traders in advance.

Our usual working hours are Monday to Sunday 7am to 6pm. We’ll make every effort to complete these works on schedule, however dates are subject to change.

There will be no works on site from Saturday 20 December to Monday 12 January. Works will resume Tuesday 13 January.

What to expect

  • Increased construction activity, machinery, vehicles, workers, intermittent road closures and some delays.
  • Additional lighting at night near works areas, directed away from residential properties where possible.
  • Noticeable construction noise, dust and vibration near works areas.
  • There may be temporary utility service interruptions to properties. Utility companies are responsible for notifying customers of any interruptions. Please contact your utility provider if you have any questions.
