28 April 2026

We’re removing the level crossings at McDonald Street in Mordialloc and Station Street in Aspendale to deliver faster and safer journey times 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

During May, works will continue ahead of the new Mordialloc Station opening and trains running on the new rail bridges from Thursday 21 May. We’ll also permanently remove the dangerous and congested level crossings at McDonald Street, Mordialloc and Station Street, Aspendale.

Major construction in May

From Thursday 30 April to Thursday 21 May, our crews will work around the clock to prepare the new station and elevated rail bridges to open to passengers. We will:

  • remove existing rail infrastructure, including tracks and the boom gates
  • install the remaining station and rail infrastructure needed for trains to run on the elevated rail
  • complete and open the new Pine Crescent link road in Aspendale, connecting Station Street to the Nepean Highway
  • complete road and kerb reinstatement, including sections of the new station car parking.

What to expect

McDonald Street and Station Street level crossing closures

Detours are via White Street and Edithvale Road. Allow extra travel time and expect increased congestion.

Mordialloc Creek temporary closures

Boat access under Mordialloc Creek rail bridge will close at times between Thursday 30 April and Thursday 21 May. We’ll install signage at the boat ramp ahead of closure and notify any affected mooring holders and other community groups in advance. Access to the nearby pedestrian bridge and paths will be maintained.

Continuous day and night works

You may notice increased noise, vibration, lighting and heavy vehicle movements across the area. We’ll be in touch with directly impacted residents and traders in advance.

Additional lane, footpath, and road closures

Temporary lane, footpath or road closures may be required while we work, including after Thursday 21 May. Traffic management and detours will be in place as required. Conditions may change at short notice, so please follow signage and allow extra time.
