The Fitzgerald Road, Ardeer level crossing was removed by building a road bridge over the rail line. The new road bridge connects Fitzgerald Road to Forrest Street.
We planted more than 150,000 trees, shrubs and grasses, and opened a new section of the Western Ring Road shared use path, creating better walking and cycling connections.
The boom gates in Deer Park and Ardeer were down for up to 45% of the morning peak, when up to 37 trains ran through the Fitzgerald and Robinsons Road level crossings.
Planned timeline
The Fitzgerald Road level crossing was removed 6 months ahead of schedule in July 2022.
With the removal of the Mt Derrimut Road level crossing in 2023, and Robinsons Road in 2022, the Geelong and Ballarat lines are now level crossing free between Deer Park and the city.
