The Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing level crossing was removed by building a road bridge over the rail line, directly connecting Old Geelong Road to Princes Highway.
A pedestrians and cyclists overpass was built at Hoppers Crossing Station, along with a new Hoppers Crossing Station precinct, which includes upgraded car parking and bike facilities, sheltered bus stops, public artwork, and new plazas.
About 18,000 vehicles used the level crossing each day.
The boom gates in Hoppers Crossing were down for up to 36% of the morning peak, when up to 25 trains run through Old Geelong Road.
The level crossing on Old Geelong Road was removed in December 2021.
The new pedestrian and cyclist overpass at Hoppers Crossing Station opened in February 2022.
