We're removing the level crossing at Ruthven Street, Macleod by building a rail bridge over the road.

We're also building a new walking and cycling path along Ellesmere Parade from Ruthven Street to Davies Street. This section of the path is the missing link between existing paths on McNamara Street and Ellesmere Parade.

Engineering assessments determined that the best solution to remove the level crossing is by building a rail bridge over the road.

This brochure explains the key considerations of the design.
