We closed the level crossing at Cave Hill Road, Lilydale and built a new pedestrian underpass to provide a safer connection across the rail line with links to future pedestrian and cycling paths.

With the Cave Hill Road level crossing now closed, the Lilydale Line is the first train line in Melbourne to be level crossing free.

Planned timeline

The Cave Hill Road level crossing was closed in early 2024. The new pedestrian underpass opened in October 2024.
