We’re removing the dangerous and congested level crossing at Coolstore Road, Croydon and building a new transport hub, which will connect Croydon’s town centre.

We’re building new road connections and a new rail bridge to replace the level crossing and roundabout at Coolstore Road, connecting Croydon’s retail precincts and creating more options to cross the rail line for all transport users.

Following a winter construction blitz, Croydon will be boom gate free by early July 2024 – a year ahead of schedule, and cars will be travelling along the new Kent Avenue to Lacey Street connection.

The new Croydon Station will open to passengers in late July 2024, with finishing works on the new station and transport hub continuing into spring. The new station will have 2 entrances and forecourts, improved safety, and modern facilities.

The new Croydon Transport Hub will make it easier to get where you need to go and provide a modern and safe Croydon Station precinct.

A new, streamlined bus interchange will also be built, making it easier and safer for commuters to connect between bus and train services.

With the Coolstore Road, Croydon level crossing gone by early July, the Lilydale Line will be the first rail line in Melbourne to be boom level crossing free.
