Upgrades to train technology are being completed on the last of 53 public level crossings on the Warrnambool Line, to enable the introduction of modern and accessible VLocity trains.

Thank you for your patience while this important work is underway.

What we are doing

We’re completing work to upgrade 53 public level crossings between Winchelsea and Warrnambool to improve safety and enable VLocity trains.

The final phase of works will take place at the following locations:

Camperdown

• Camperdown-Lismore Road
• Church Street
• Meiklejohn Street
• Old Timboon Road.

Terang

• Terang-Mortlake Road
• Shadforth Street
• Seymour Street.

Works will include:

• signalling and communications system upgrades
• installation of new level crossing equipment
• site inspections and surveys
• testing and commissioning of upgraded level crossings
• water main relocation at Old Timboon Road.

Works will take place from 7am to 6pm from Saturday 15 June to Sunday 25 August.

What to be aware of

There may be an increase in noise in the rail corridor at times. We’ll minimise these impacts by:

• turning off equipment and vehicles when not in use
• covering truck loads
• monitoring noise and dust
• communicating impacts to those who may be affected.

Traffic management will be implemented as required.

Coaches will replace trains between Geelong and Warrnambool from Saturday 15 June to Sunday 25 August.

Major construction on the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication will also be completed during this time. Significant delays are expected. Check before you travel.
