We’ve removed the level crossing at Hopkins Road in Truganina, and the boom gates at Coburns, Exford and Ferris roads will be gone this year making Melton level crossing free. We’re also building a new modern and accessible Melton Station that will open this year.

What we're doing

  • We’ll continue landscaping around the project area and constructing natural water storage basins.
  • We will demobilise our temporary site compounds, remove construction equipment and reinstate the area. Our site compound will move to a smaller location within the project area.
  • Complete track adjustments, guard rail installation and tamping while trains are not running.

Rail disruptions

There will be service changes on the Ballarat, Ararat and Maryborough lines:

  • from the night of Wednesday 22nd July to last service, Sunday 26 July.
