12 April 2024

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

Construction is well underway 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

On Tuesday 16 April a pre-fabricated station building will be delivered to the Croydon Station northern car park via Mount Dandenong Road and Wicklow Avenue. The station building will form part of the secondary concourse and station staff services of the new Croydon Transport Hub.

What to expect

To ensure the building delivery and crane lift can be undertaken safely, there will be short delays of up to 15 minutes at a time on Wicklow Avenue on Tuesday 16 April between 9am and 12pm.

Access to your property and driveway will be maintained throughout this period, with the assistance of traffic control staff.

In line with arborist assessments, minor trimming of overhanging branches along sections of the delivery route may be required before the building is delivered.
