Cooling the Deer Park car park

The Robinsons Road, Deer Park level crossing was removed by building a road underpass and rail bridge.
Removing this level crossing has reduced travel times, improved safety and traffic flow, and created better local connections for pedestrians and cyclists.
Works also included planting more than 100,000 trees, shrubs and grasses.
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 Robinsons Road level crossing was removed in September 2022.
With the removal of the Mt Derrimut Road level crossing in 2023, and Fitzgerald Road in 2022, the Geelong and Ballarat lines are now level crossing free between Deer Park and the city.
