Site investigations are continuing in Seaford, Victoria as part of work to remove another two level crossings on the Frankston Line.
The level crossings at Armstrongs Road and Station Street are being removed by building separate rail bridges over the roads, with a “new, modern and accessible” Seaford Station, the Victorian Government said.
Since late last year, crews have been checking ground conditions, locating underground services and inspecting rail equipment along the rail corridor.
To safely conduct these site investigation works, Armstrongs Road is closed between Railway Parade and Kananook Creeuntil 6pm, Friday 6 February. Detours for drivers and pedestrians are in place.
“The investigative works are essential to understanding ground conditions and will inform the project’s concept designs, set to be released later this year,” the government said in a statement.
Final designs will be released and construction will start in 2027, with both crossings removed and the new Seaford Station open in 2029.
The Frankston Line will be level crossing-free by 2029.
