This year is set to be a big one for Victoria’s Level Crossing Removal Project in Mordialloc and Aspendale.
Two more level crossings (at McDonald Street and Station Street) are set to be removed in 2026, and the new elevated Mordialloc Station will open to the public.
Work has progressed on site, and crews have recently installed all 68 L-beams that make up the new McDonald Street and Station Street rail bridges.
They are now building the platforms for the new Mordialloc Station.
Sections of the new elevated platform, lift shafts and building structures were delivered to the site late last year, with a total of 30 prefabricated station building modules being delivered and installed as part of the project.
Members of the public will be able to view the works up close, with the project team hosting guided walking tours over the coming months.
The tours will provide an overview of what’s happening on the ground, with project engineers sharing information about what’s coming up in the countdown to the station opening, and how the project will improve safety, travel reliability and local connections.
Community members can book their guided tour online via the walking tour event page. Registration is essential and spots are limited.
Over the coming months, crews will continue work on the station platforms and buildings and start construction of the new commuter car park in Mordialloc.
As the project nears completion, Metro Trains teams will begin testing services on the new elevated rail bridges in preparation for passengers.
The new link road to Nepean Highway will also open to traffic, offering a safer and less congested connection, while landscaping begins across Mordialloc and Aspendale.
