The removal of Parkdale Level Crossing and new Parkdale Station is part of Victoria’s Level Crossing Removal Project, an initiative to improve community safety, reduce traffic congestion, and support sustainable transport by removing 110 level crossings across Melbourne by 2030. The project is being carried out by the Southern Program Alliance consisting of WSP, Lendlease, Acciona/Coleman Rail, and Metro Trains Melbourne. At Parkdale, the level crossing will be removed and replaced with a new rail bridge and station delivering improved pedestrian crossings, car parks, public parks, and community space.
Using Modern Methods of Construction, and an integrated digital approach, the team were able to save time and reduce the carbon footprint of the structures on the project.
