We’re removing the level crossings at Old Calder Highway and Watsons Road, Diggers Rest, improving local safety, and making the Sunbury Line level crossing-free in 2025.

In February, we’ll continue works on the new road bridge at Old Calder Highway and site establishment works at Watsons Road.

What we’re doing

At Old Calder Highway, we’ll complete minor utility services works in the rail corridor near the level crossing.

When we’ll work

We’ll work from 9pm, Thursday 6 February to 3am, Friday 7 February.

Every effort will be made to complete works on schedule, however works are weather dependent and subject to change.

During this time, you may notice low to moderate levels of noise, dust and vibration. You may also notice construction vehicles and on local roads, including Old Calder Highway, Diggers Rest-Coimadai Road, Tame Street, School Lane, and in the Diggers Rest Station car parks.

Please follow the direction of traffic management personnel and signage in the area.
