We're building the rail bridge over McGregor Road, Main Street and Racecourse Road and delivering new stations at Pakenham and East Pakenham.
Works are progressing at Pakenham as we build the elevated rail bridge. At times, we will need to close McGregor Road, Main Street and Racecourse Road at the level crossings. While these works take place, traffic management will help people move around the area.
We will provide regular updates ahead of works as well as the latest project information and timelines.
How we’ll work with you
Understanding your business and working with you is important to us.
Our commitment to you and your business is to:
- have dedicated staff to keep you up to date about the project and timing of impacts
- ensure you have information about detours or changes to access to help your staff and customers get around
- conduct marketing campaigns to encourage the community to continue to shop locally during works
- procure goods and services locally, where we can
- manage traffic and workforce parking to minimise the impact to local roads.
