Level Crossing Removal

The Victorian Government is removing 27 dangerous level crossings and building 17 new stations, making the Frankston Line level crossing free. This is part of their commitment to remove 110 dangerous and congested level crossings across Melbourne by 2030, reducing congestion and allowing more trains to run more often. 

This includes the level crossings at Warrigal Road, Mentone and Parkers Road, Parkdale.

They are mindful of the need for access to schools and traffic patterns around school times, and this is being considered as they plan their traffic management to minimise disruption.
