Work piles on at Webster Street

We’re closing Webster Street at the level crossing and building a new road under the rail line, connecting Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street to Cheltenham and Hammond roads.
The final designs have been released of the new road underpass that will reroute traffic away from Dandenong’s CBD and keep heavy vehicles off Webster Street.
The new road underpass beneath the rail line will reduce congestion, deliver a more reliable road network and prepare Dandenong for future development.
Once the level crossing is closed, Webster Street will be quieter for local residents.
Removing the 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.
Early works are underway and construction will start this year.
Webster Street will be closed to vehicles at the level crossing in late 2025, and the new road underpass will open in 2026, 2 years ahead of schedule.
