Mordialloc is a step closer to being level crossing free by 2026, following the release of concept designs for new rail bridges and the Mordialloc Station precinct.
We’re now inviting locals to provide feedback on the concept designs through our Engage Victoria survey.
The new rail bridges over McDonald Street, Mordialloc and Station Street, Aspendale will replace the dangerous and congested level crossings, improving traffic flow and safety in the area.
The removals allow for the closure of the Bear Street level crossing and will create a vibrant station precinct with safe access for pedestrians and cyclists.
In earlier community consultation, we heard from locals about how they value the local history and identity of the area. We also heard they would like us to improve landscaping, provide safer walking and cycling connections and community spaces as part of the project design. You can read the summary of feedback in our vision and values consultation report.
We will also hold face-to-face and virtual community information sessions in October. The project team will be available to answer questions and discuss feedback.
To find out more and register for these information sessions, visit the Eventbrite website.
The new elevated station will remain in the heart of Mordialloc, close to shops and cafes with two entrances at McDonald Street and in the current station forecourt, providing safe and easy connections to the station for locals.
The look and feel of the new station precinct will reflect the unique character and history of Mordialloc, with the water tower celebrated as part of the design.
When the new station opens, passengers will enjoy modern facilities, landscaping, all-abilities access, safe pedestrian connections and improved lighting and community public spaces.
The project will also include a new shared use path that will improve access around the station precinct, as well as connect to existing cycling paths.
The Station Street connection to Nepean Highway will move south near Pine Crescent and will include new pedestrian crossings, with the new rail bridge over the road improving safety and traffic flow.
Early site investigations continue at various locations in Mordialloc to support design development and early works preparation. Construction will start in 2024.
Works on the Mordialloc level crossing removals are part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to deliver more trains, more often on the Frankston Line by removing all 27 dangerous and congested level crossings and returning Frankston Line trains to the City Loop once the Metro Tunnel opens.
