We’re removing the level crossing at Maidstone Street, Altona by building a new road bridge over the rail line to improve safety and create better connections.

Major construction is underway. Thank you for your patience as we deliver this important project.

What we’re doing in August

In August, we will:

  • Continue to build the bridge deck, retaining walls and northern and southern approaches.
  • Continue relocating underground power, gas, sewer, water and telecommunications services along Maidstone Street and nearby roads. Service providers will contact you directly if services or access are affected.

Changes to the way you travel

Rail

Buses will replace trains on the Werribee and Williamstown lines in August. Visit the Transport Victoria website for more information.

Out of hours works

From 7pm, Friday 28 August to 3am, Monday 31 August, our site will be open while minor works are carried out in the rail corridor, while trains aren’t running. There will be no impacts to traffic during this time.
