30 April 2025

We’re removing the level crossings at McDonald Street in Mordialloc and Station Street in Aspendale by building new rail bridges. We’re also removing and closing the Bear Street level crossing in Mordialloc and building a new Mordialloc Station.

What we’re doing

During May, we will:

  • complete earthworks and piling in the rail corridor on Albert Street, Mordialloc between McDonald and Bear streets, as well as on Station Street, Aspendale between Attenborough Road and Ruvina Street
  • construct hardstand in the rail corridor near Pine Crescent, Aspendale to support heavy machinery
  • install new rail services in Mordialloc and Aspendale
  • continue vegetation removal and install safety fencing along the rail corridor
  • temporarily relocate the Mordialloc Station bus interchange from the station (west) side of Albert Street to the other side of the road to make room for ongoing works near the station.

Utility companies will continue relocating services (electricity, gas and water) to make way for construction works. Temporary service interruptions to private properties may occur, and your utility provider will notify you ahead of time.

Mordialloc Creek and the Governor Road boat ramp temporary closures

Public access to Mordialloc Creek will be closed from the Governor Road boat ramp to west of the Mordialloc Creek rail bridge over 3 non-consecutive days in May and June while we bore under the creek to install underground rail services.

We’ll install signage at the boat ramp ahead of closure dates and notify community groups and any affected mooring holders in advance. These works will not affect access to the nearby pedestrian bridge or paths.

What to expect

Throughout May, you should expect changes to road conditions, parking, and pedestrian paths. You may notice an increase in construction workers and machinery, including moderate noise and vibration at times. Please expect delays on Nepean Highway in both directions, predominantly southbound, and allow extra travel time.

We’ll work 7am to 6pm on weekdays and 7am to 3pm on Saturdays. We’ll also work 24/7 from 8.30pm Friday 16 May to last service Sunday 18 May in the rail corridor. If we need to work outside of these times, we’ll let the community know in advance.
