The Victorian Government is removing 27 dangerous level crossings and building 17 new stations, making the Frankston Line level crossing free. This is part of a commitment to remove 110 dangerous and congested level crossings across Melbourne by 2030, reducing congestion and allowing more trains to run more often.
As part of our early stages of planning, we are carrying out site investigations for the following level crossing removal projects:
- Wickham Road, Highett
- Highett Road, Highett
- McDonald Street, Mordialloc
- Bear Street, Mordialloc
- Station Street, Aspendale
- Groves Street, Aspendale
- Armstrongs Road, Seaford
- Station Street, Seaford
- Latrobe Street, Mentone
We’re doing these works over the coming months to help us understand more about the local area and to support design development and early works preparation.

Residents and locals can expect to see workers in the area, surveying the area near and around the level crossings. These investigations are non-invasive, involving crews monitoring and observing the sites.
These projects form part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to remove 27 dangerous and congested level crossings, including closing 3 on the Frankston Line – making it boom gate-free by 2029, and changing the way locals live, work and travel.We’re still in the early stages of planning and will update the community when we have more information.
