New walking and cycling path set to open in Dandenong

We’ve closed Webster Street at the level crossing and are building a new road under the rail line, connecting Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street to Cheltenham and Hammond roads.
We’ve also built a new walking and cycling path along Webster Street, connecting to the existing Dandenong Trail and providing safer pedestrian and cycling access under the rail line.
Construction is underway on the new road underpass, which will open in 2026 – 2 years ahead of schedule.
The new road underpass will reduce congestion, deliver a more reliable road network and prepare Dandenong for future development.
Removing the Webster Street level crossing will eliminate more than 60 minutes of boom gate down time in the morning peak, saving travel time for up to 10,000 drivers each weekday.
Planned timeline
The new road underpass connecting Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street to Cheltenham and Hammond roads will open in 2026 – 2 years ahead of schedule.
Getting rid of this level crossing will make the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines boom gate free in 2025.
