As part of its Project 10,000, the Victorian Government has committed to removing 50 dangerous and congested level crossing on the Melbourne metropolitan rail network at an estimated cost of $5 to $6 billion.
Background
Currently, VicRoads has four level crossing projects underway at North Road Ormond, Burke Road Glen Iris, Main Road St Albans and Blackburn Road Blackburn, with the contracts due to be awarded in April 2015.
VicRoads is starting investigations at various sites to provide information to Government to prioritise funding and construction of the remaining 46 level crossing locations. VicRoads and the Level Crossing Removal Authority will progressively investigate all locations.
The order that the remaining 46 level crossing will be removed will be based on a range of factors including safety, congestion and potentially bundling projects where they are in close proximity to minimise impacts to the road and rail network and local communities as much as practicable during construction.

Complete our online community survey
As part of these investigations, we are inviting the community to participate in an online survey. In particular, we are looking to better understand the thoughts and experiences of the people who live, work and use the following level crossings and their immediate surrounds:- McKinnon Road McKinnon
- Centre Road Bentleigh
- Furlong Road St Albans
- Heatherdale Road Mitcham
- Mountain Highway and Scoresby Road in Bayswater
- Heatherton, Corrigan and Chandler roads in Noble Park.
Survey closes: Midnight on Saturday 4 April 2015.
When you start the survey, you will be asked to select the level crossing project that interests/impacts you the most.
If you would like to complete the survey for more than one project, you can do so by starting a new survey.
This survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Please answer as many questions as you can to help us fully understand your point of view.
We recommend if you have the time you read our Frequently Asked Questions [PDF 265 Kb] prior to completing the survey.
If you require a hard copy of the survey, or a translated copy, please contact us directly on 1300 309 571.
