The level crossing at Glenroy Road, Glenroy is being removed by lowering the rail line under the road.
Early works for the project are currently under way to prepare for major construction in 2021.
As well as removing the level crossing, the project will also deliver a brand-new Glenroy Station and station precinct including improved local connections, dedicated shared use and pedestrian paths and new landscaping.
Around 19,000 vehicles pass through the level crossing each day, with the boom gates down for up to 43 per cent of the morning peak.
The level crossing will be removed and the new station open by the end of 2022.
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.
