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. Thank you for your patience while we continue this important infrastructure project.

What we're doing

Throughout February we will:
  • continue landscaping the embankment and preparing the area for asphalting
  • construct the new shared use path along Hopkins Road and install handrailing.
We'll set up temporary fencing and conduct minor vegetation removal at the corner of Hopkins Road and Meskos Road to prepare the area for future works.

Planned Powercior works near Hopkins Road

During February, power distribution company Powercor are scheduled to complete works at the corner of Sheahan Road and Hopkins Road to install electrical services. Powercor will communicate directly with anyone impacted by their works.

Please follow traffic management when moving through the area.

What to expect

  • Increased construction workers, vehicles and equipment in the area.
  • Increased noise, dust and vibration.
  • Traffic management, including lane closures and reduced speed limits at times.
  • General working hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm and Saturday from 7am to 3pm, with some out of hours works necessary at times.
