Project description
Level crossing closure – Officer
The Victorian Government has closed the level crossing at Station Street, Officer.
Since 2012, this dangerous and congested level crossing was the site of 6 near miss accidents.
Closing this level crossing improves safety and reduces congestion, with motorists having two options to cross over the rail line using either the new Brunt Road bridge or the Siding Avenue underpass.
Works are still underway to finish the new shared user path connections, landscaping and street lighting installations, which are anticipated to be completed by early 2025.
The Station Street, Officer closure is part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to remove all level crossings from the Pakenham Line by 2025.
In the meantime, Cardinia Shire Council will continue to advocate for the prompt construction of the North-South Arterial, which would link Officer South Road and the Princes Highway.
