We removed the Toorak Road, Kooyong level crossing by building a rail bridge over the road.
New and improved walking and cycling paths connecting to nearby parklands, as well as new open spaces, were created as part of the project.
Prior to its removal, the level crossing was a major bottleneck for motorists, with boom gates down for 35% of the morning peak, causing delays for the 37,000 vehicles travelling through the crossing each day.
Project timeline
The Toorak Road level crossing was removed in April 2020 – 6 months ahead of schedule.
