A $171 million contract has been awarded to an alliance for works on three level crossings in Melbourne’s south-east.
The alliance, compromising Fulton Hogan Construction, Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) and the Level Crossing Removal Project, will deliver works to level crossings in Beaconsfield, Progress Street and Dandenong South.
At Station Street, Beaconsfield a new road bridge will be built over the rail line, allowing the level crossing to be removed sooner.

A new road bridge will also be built to replace the level crossing at Progress Street in Dandenong South. Additional works will also commence to upgrade the intersection nearing the road bridge to improve traffic flow and ease congestion.
Major works will begin at Beaconsfield and Dandenong South later this year. Works will get underway early next year for the level crossing removal works in Officer.
All three level crossings will be removed by 2025.
