Site preparation works start at Narre Warren Station

The crossing is being removed and replaced by an elevated rail bridge over Webb Street.

Preparations have commenced at the Webb Street level crossing in Narre Warren, ahead of major construction later this year.

Site preparation works will be carried out from Monday 26 September to early December, including the temporary closure of car parks, installation of site fencing and concrete barriers around the closed car park areas, underground utility works, underground rail infrastructure works, and vegetation removal.

From Friday 7 October to Monday 10 October, crews will work in the rail corridor to relocate existing underground assets and rail infrastructure and remove trees and vegetation along the rail corridor.

During this time, buses will replace trains between Dandenong and Pakenham stations until last service Sunday 9 October.

Motorists should be aware that a speed reduction to 40km/h will be in place on Webb Street, between Centre Road and Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road until late 2024.

Commuter parking spaces in the Narre Warren Station western car park, and some spaces in the eastern car park, will also be closed until early December 2022.

To support the above car parking closures at Narre Warren Station, 255 additional commuter car parking spaces will be available at Hallam Station.

The pedestrian footpath at Narre Warren Station eastern car park connecting to Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and the Parkiteer (bicycle storage facility) at Narre Warren Station will be closed until late 2024.
