We’re removing the Maddox Road and Champion Road level crossings to make Newport boom gate free - improving safety, creating more reliable travel times and preparing for more trains, more often.

What we’re doing

We’re upgrading the Maddox Road–Kororoit Creek Road intersection by extending the right-turn lane, improving signals and adding a U-turn. We’re also upgrading signals at the Adeline Street pedestrian crossing.
