The level crossing at Ferguson Street in Williamstown is planned for removal between 2019 and 2022.
Works are at the early planning stage and a decision about the design for removing the crossing has not yet been made.
The Ferguson Street level crossing is used by 22,000 vehicles daily and is a major safety hazard for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers in the area. This level crossing has been the site of two pedestrian fatalities and one serious incident involving a cyclist.
On behalf of the Victorian Government, the Level Crossing Removal Project is overseeing the removal of 75 dangerous and congested level crossings across Melbourne by 2025.
