Level crossing removal at Deer Park

3 Aug - 31 Jan 2024

Geelong line, Ballarat line

Three crossings at Mt Derrimut Road and Robinsons Road in Deer Park, and Fitzgerald Road in Ardeer, will be removed along the Geelong and Ballarat lines.

Level Crossing Removal Project will remove the level crossing at Mt Derrimut Road by building a rail bridge over the road. We’ll also build a new Deer Park Station, complete with bicycle facilities, car parking, accessible platforms, and landscaping.

Removing this level crossing will ease delays for the 23,000 vehicles that pass through the crossing every day. Boom gates in Deer Park and Ardeer can be down for up to 45 per cent of the morning peak, when up to 37 trains travel through the crossings.

Construction will start in late 2021, with the level crossing to be removed in 2024.

Current disruptions at Deer Park:
 

17 July 2021 to January 2024	The pedestrian access path at the western entrance to Deer Park station will close permanently from Saturday 17 July.
26 July 2021 to January 2024	The accessible car parking and the 5-minute parking zone at Deer Park Station will be relocated to the eastern end of the car park from Monday 26 July 2021 through to 2024.

 For regular information about the progress of this project, sign up for email updates.
