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 build the new road bridge, install new infrastructure and relocate existing services, some tree and vegetation removal is required along Ferris Road. This will continue to take place throughout May 2025.
• Careful planning is undertaken to minimise tree removal and reduce impacts to local flora and fauna, as much as possible.

What to expect

• Increased construction noise, construction vehicles, works crews and machinery in the area.
• Traffic management in place including pedestrian impacts, lane closures and reduced speed limits, at times.
• Our general working hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm and Saturday 7am to 3pm.
• Some out of hours work may be required, at times. We will contact impacted properties ahead of works with more information.
