The Grange Road level crossing was removed by lowering the rail line under Grange Road.
This work was completed as part of a package of works that also removed the level crossing at Lower Plenty Road in Rosanna, built a new Rosanna Station and duplicated a single section of track between Heidelberg and Rosanna.
The project has improved pedestrian and cycling access, with 2 new low-profile bridges over the railway line.
Before their removal, the boom gates at Grange Road were down for about 40 minutes during the weekday morning peak, causing delays for around 25,000 vehicles.
The level crossings at Grange Road and Lower Plenty Road were removed, and the new Rosanna Station opened in 2018.
