An investment of more than $4 billion by the Australian and Victorian governments, the Sunshine Superhub will untangle Melbourne's most complex rail junction outside the CBD. The new superhub will create space for a future rail line to Melbourne Airport and future electrified Melton Line.

As part of early works for the project, we will be in your area completing geotechnical investigations and bridge assessments. While we do these works, there will be temporary road and lane closures.

Ashley Street

  • Closed to vehicles between Sunshine Road and Barkly Street nightly from 9pm to 5am, Monday 4 August to Friday 8 August for bridge assessment works.

Sunshine Road
