Rail Geelong

In 2019 it was announced that the Level Crossing Removal Authority would replace the level crossing with a rail over road bridge structure, that would be around one kilometre long and have a height of about six metres when it crosses Werribee Street.

In 2020 the standard gauge track was temporarily slewed to the north of the existing level crossing, allowing the three single track bridges to be constructed, broad gauge trains being diverted via Tarneit.
