We removed the level crossing at Station Street, Beaconsfield by building a road bridge over the rail line.
The new McKenna Drive bridge over the Pakenham Line connects Beaconsfield Avenue to Kenilworth Avenue.
The Station Street level crossing was the site of 3 near misses and one collision since 2012, with 25 trains travelling through the boom gates during the morning peak.
Planned timeline
The Station Street level crossing was removed and the new McKenna Drive bridge opened in March 2025.
Removing this level crossing helped create a boom gate free Pakenham Line in 2025.
