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 reconnect Croydon’s town centre.

What we’re doing

On Tuesday 19 March, a pre-fabricated station building will be delivered to the Croydon Station northern car park via Mount Dandenong Road and Wicklow Avenue. The building will be delivered in modules and stored on sections of Wicklow Avenue before being lifted into place.

What to expect

To ensure the building can safely be delivered and installed, there will be short delays of up to 15 minutes on Wicklow Avenue on Tuesday 19 March. The building modules will be stored along Wicklow Avenue. Some night works may be needed to install the buildings and to undertake large concrete pours between 7pm and 5am each night from Wednesday 13 March to Saturday 16 March.

Access to your property and driveway will be maintained with the assistance of traffic control staff while these works are undertaken.

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

Normal construction works will continue to take place during the standard construction hours of 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 7am to 3pm Saturdays. 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. In that instance, an SMS will be sent to impacted residents.
