Early works to get rid of the level crossing at Eel Race Road in Carrum have begun.
Additional work to build a bridge which connects Station Street over the Patterson River started in March 2018. As well as connecting the communities Bonbeach and Carrum, building this bridge will make the in the removal of three dangerous and congested level crossings in the Carrum area easier.
McLeod Road will be extended right through to the beach, creating a more direct road network that will improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in Carrum. A new Carrum Station will be also built as Carrum is transformed into a modern, connected and vibrant bayside suburb with new community spaces including a beach promenade and village square.
With the changes, overall drivers will experience a decrease in travel times and local roads will be safer and quieter.
