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.

We’re removing the level crossing at Hopkins Road by building a new road bridge over the rail line. Works to construct the foundations of the road bridge are underway and road barriers now installed along the project area.

What we’re doing

• Continuing earthworks and transporting large vehicles and machinery across the construction site.
• Relocating existing services in the area and removing redundant infrastructure.
• Installing new drainage connections.
• Continuing piling on both sides of the rail corridor.
• Pouring concrete to form the road bridge foundations and walls.

What to expect

• Increased construction personnel, vehicles, and equipment in the area.
• Increased noise, dust and vibration.
• Traffic management, including lane closures and reduced speed limits at times. Minor delays may be experienced.
• General working hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm and Saturday from 7am to 3pm.
