Works to remove the Gap Road level crossing will continue through December and January with intermittent disruptions to traffic, according to Road Projects Victoria.
The entire level crossing will be removed to make way for a road that will run beneath the station’s tracks.
Star Weekly reported in September that single lane road closures are to be expected until the second quarter of 2022.
The boring of holes for piling will continue until December 22 and will resume on January 11 on both sides of Gap Road and Station Street, with medium and high-level noises expected throughout that period.
The suite of works will include the installation of power and drainage services, including the redundant Gap Road power poles on Sunday, December 5. Other service relocation works, such as non-destructive digging, will occur along Gap Road, Station Street and O’Shannassy Street until early into next year.
“Until Friday 17 December 2021, a section of the eastbound outer lane on Station Street, near the O’Shanassy Street roundabout, will remain temporarily closed and barriers in place,” a Rail Projects Victoria spokesperson said.
