We’re removing 4 dangerous and congested level crossings at Coburns, Exford and Ferris roads in Melton, and Hopkins Road in Truganina to make Melton boom gate free in 2026. We’re also building a new modern and accessible Melton Station.

What we’re doing

To construct the foundations for the new rail bridge over Exford Road, we’ll be undertaking works on Creek Street at times from Tuesday 22 July until January 2026.

These works include relocating the underground water main, installing construction foundations and building the supports for the Exford Road rail bridge.

Drainage works in July and August

From Tuesday 22 July to Friday 8 August, we’ll be relocating the underground water main on the southern side of Creek Street.

These works will be completed from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and from 7am to 1pm on Saturdays.

We’ll start works at the western end of Creek Street near Exford Road and move east as works are completed at each location. A section of the west bound lane on Creek Street will be closed during these works.

We’ll need to close access to the eastern end of Creek Street as we trench across the road for one day during these works from 9am to 3.30pm.

We’ll confirm this date ahead of any potential impacts and we’ll work with residents to manage property access requirements.
