Major construction is almost complete to remove the dangerous and congested level crossing at Robinsons Road in Deer Park. One final construction blitz will take place in September to finish the new road underpass and get locals moving.

What’s happening

From 9pm Friday 2 September to 5am Monday 12 September, we’ll work around the clock to connect the new road underpass to Robinsons Road.

On Monday 12 September, the new Robinsons Road underpass will open, improving safety and traffic flow and creating better local connections.

We’ll still have some work to do, with the new shared use path and landscaping complete by the end of the year.

Open for business

Local shops are open during works. Show your support and shop local while we work.
