As part of these works, Webster Street will close at the level crossing for up to 10 minutes at a time to allow heavy machinery to enter the rail corridor and for the installation of overhead cables.
Motorists are asked to follow the direction of traffic management and to allow extra time when travelling in the area.
During this time, crews will work around the clock to complete signalling and overhead wiring works and piling for the new road underpass.
The Webster Street level crossing will be closed to vehicles in Spring, and the new road underpass connecting the Princes Highway to Cheltenham and Hammond roads will open in 2026. Getting rid of this level crossing will make the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines boom gate free.
