Project description

Level crossing removals – Pakenham

McGregor Road, Main Street and Racecourse Road

The 3 level crossings will be removed by raising the rail line over the roads, which will:

• improve safety and reduce congestion
• allow for new community spaces
• minimise disruption to road and train users during construction
