Looking back on the Glenroy Level Crossing Removal Project
When the new Glenroy Station was completed in September 2022, locals could walk from one side of Glenroy to the other, from Hartington Street in the east to Dowd Place in the west, for the first time in 100 years.
Four months earlier, in May, Glenroy Road reopened to traffic, boom gate free, slashing congestion for the 19,000 vehicles each day that risked being stuck at the level crossing.
The new station, with improved facilities, customer waiting room and ground level concourse, spanned the new rail trench which lowered the rail line under Glenroy Road. New commuter and shopper parking surrounded by landscaped station forecourts and a new Hartington Street linear park, capped off a revitalised Glenroy Station precinct.
Take a look at the gallery below to compare the design renders with the completed project.
