The level crossing at Evans Road in Lyndhurst will be one of the last of the remaining crossings to be removed along the Cranbourne line.
On the Cranbourne line, boom gates can be down for up to 12 per cent of the 7:00am to 9:00am peak, with up to 13 trains running through the crossings. Current network plans involve increasing trains running on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines, meaning more boom gate downtime.
The Evans Road, Lyndhurst level crossing was identified as a priority site for removal in the Victorian Government’s Site Prioritisation Framework.
