Work is powering ahead to make the Lilydale Line level crossing free by 2024, a year ahead of schedule.

Works are ramping up to remove the congested level crossing and roundabout by elevating the rail line, building a new Croydon Station and transport hub, and creating new road links to connect Croydon’s town centre.

What we're doing

Due to unexpected circumstances, the pedestrian level crossing between Kent Avenue and Main Street (near Vinnies at the roundabout) will need to temporarily close from 7pm Friday, 19 April until 9pm Wednesday, 24 April.

To help keep pedestrians moving around the area during this period, a pedestrian shuttle bus will be available from 7pm to 9pm on Friday 19 April, and from 7am to 9pm daily for the remainder of the time. The bus stops will be clearly marked on Croydon Road and Main Street, and our customer service representatives will be in the area to assist.

The pedestrian level crossing between Mount View Street and Wicklow Avenue will remain open.

What to expect

• The pedestrian level crossing between Kent Avenue and Main Street will be temporarily closed.
• A pedestrian shuttle bus will operate between 7am and 9pm each day from Croydon Road (opposite Croydon Primary School) and Main Street (opposite Miss Lacey Cafe).
• A number of car spaces will temporarily close between 57 Main Street and 65 Main Street and adjacent to 16 Croydon Road to facilitate the shuttle bus service.
• Traffic management and wayfinding signage will be in place to assist pedestrians.
