Works are continuing to get rid of the dangerous level crossings at Maddox and Champion roads, Newport.
In the coming weeks, crews at Maddox Road will start to relocate overhead utility services at the level crossing to enable construction of the new rail bridge over the road.
To allow these works to safely take place, there will be some disruption to traffic from late April to late May.
Maddox Road will be closed overnight between Railway Parade and Macaulay Street on Monday 28 April while crews install temporary traffic barriers.
The northbound lane of Maddox Road will then be closed to traffic from Tuesday 29 April for up to 4 weeks while workers relocate overhead power lines and poles. Pedestrian and bike access at the crossing will be maintained, and the southbound lane will remain open.
Detours will be in place during this time to keep traffic moving safely through the area and to get people to where they need to go.
A 24/7 works blitz in the rail corridor will also see buses replace trains on the Werribee Line from 9pm, Friday 23 May until the last service, Sunday 25 May.
In other works, crews are getting ready to build the new Akuna Drive link road to connect a boom gate free Maddox Road to Champion Road, which will close at the level crossing.
Site establishment works have started, with crews clearing and preparing laydown areas near Akuna Drive and relocating underground utilities.
The Newport level crossings will be gone for good in 2026, paving the way for the Werribee Line to be level crossing free by 2030, transforming the way locals live, work, and travel.
