We’ve removed the Dublin Road level crossing and opened a new Ringwood East Station, with trains now running along a new rail trench – a year ahead of schedule.

Works are nearing completion around Ringwood East Station and the rail corridor, which includes landscaping, removing barriers and portable sheds, and reinstating footpaths and roads.

Works taking place from mid March

Railway Avenue, Patterson Street, Dublin Road

  • Intermittent 'stop and slow' conditions around the station precinct to allow works to be carried out in sections requiring works including road reinstatement and pit works until April.

Miller Grove

  • Closed to traffic on Thursday 27 March with a road closure required at 16 Miller Grove to allow for road reinstatement works.
  • Access to residential premises either side of the road closure in Miller Grove via Eastfield Road and Patterson Street will remain.

What to expect

  • Onsite traffic management will be in place to help road users and pedestrians navigate the local area safely.
  • Some expected delays due to intermittent ‘stop and slow’ shuttle flow conditions on local roads.
  • Minimised presence of workers, truck movements and construction equipment.

Please be aware works can sometimes take longer than expected or need to be rescheduled due to weather and other factors outside our control.

There may be times where we’ll need to adjust our works and we’ll advise when this is happening.
