Read more
The dangerous and congested level crossings at Warrigal Road, Mentone and Parkers Road, Parkdale have been removed, and the new Parkdale Station is open.
The new Parkdale Station precinct includes around 2 MCGs worth of open space and features more than 100,000 trees, shrubs and grasses, a walking and cycling path, nature-based playground, half basketball court, open-air gym and community garden, as well as gathering places.
The boom gates were down for up to 44 minutes of the morning peak, when more than 20,000 vehicles travelled through the level crossings each weekday.
Planned timeline
Both level crossings were removed and the new Parkdale Station opened in August 2024.
The Frankston Line will be level crossing free by 2029, transforming the way locals live, work and travel.
