We're removing the dangerous level crossing and roundabout at Coolstore Road, Croydon by elevating the rail line, building a new Croydon Station and transport hub and creating new road links to connect Croydon's town centre.

With the removal of the remaining level crossings in Croydon, Lilydale and Ringwood, the Lilydale Line will be Melbourne's first rail line to be boom gate free – one year ahead of schedule.

To safely build the new rail bridge and road connections by spring this year there will be road and lane closures in Croydon from mid April. Please be aware works can sometimes take longer than expected or need to be rescheduled due to weather and other factors outside of our control.
