We’re removing the level crossings at McDonald Street in Mordialloc and Station Street in Aspendale by building new rail bridges.
As part of the project, we’ll also build a new Mordialloc Station with a vibrant station precinct and safe access for pedestrians and cyclists.
The boom gates at Bear Street are already gone for good with the street now closed to vehicles.
Removing these level crossings will reduce congestion, improve safety and pave the way for more capacity on the Frankston Line. With no level crossings in the area, journeys will be faster and more reliable, and local roads will be safer.
Planned timeline
Early site investigations started in March 2023. Major construction started in mid 2025 with the Bear Street boom gates gone for good in August 2025. Mordialloc will be boom gate free with the new station open in 2026.
Removing these level crossings will help create a level crossing free Frankston Line by 2029.
