The Poath Road, Hughesdale level crossing was removed by elevating the rail line over the road.
It was removed as part of the Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal Project, which removed 9 level crossings and built 5 new stations, including a new Hughesdale Station.
By constructing an elevated rail line, the project has opened up 22.5 hectares of open space and parkland for the community.
Planned timeline
The level crossing at Poath Road was removed, and the new Hughesdale Station opened in June 2018.
With all 9 level crossings removed, the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines became level crossing free between Caulfield and Dandenong in June 2018.
