The Cranbourne Line Upgrade is underway with 8km of duplicated track between Cranbourne and Dandenong complete and a new Merinda Park Station open to passengers.
The second track between Cranbourne and Dandenong was completed in February 2022 and means trains can run every 10 minutes on average in the morning peak for passengers travelling from Cranbourne, Lynbrook and Merinda Park stations.
Along with the Metro Tunnel, the Cranbourne Line Upgrade will make road and rail travel easier, faster and more reliable for Melbourne’s south east, providing better access to jobs, health and education for people in this growth area of Melbourne.
Planned timeline
To upgrade the Cranbourne Line we will:
- remove level crossings at Evans Road, Lyndhurst (completed in 2020), Greens Road, Dandenong South (completed in 2022), Camms Road, Cranbourne (completed in 2023) and Webster Street, Dandenong (gone by 2025)
- duplicate 8km of single track between Dandenong South and Cranbourne (completed in 2022)
- install second rail bridges at Abbotts Road and Eumemmerring Creek in Dandenong South (completed in 2022)
- build a brand new Merinda Park Station in Lyndhurst (complete in 2022)
