The level crossing at Heatherdale Road, Mitcham has been removed and the new Heatherdale Station is up and running.
The crossing was removed by lowering the Belgrave/Lilydale rail line under Heatherdale Road.
The station was rebuilt on the east side of the road.
Car parks offer direct access to the platforms and there is a 'kiss and ride' drop off point via Heatherdale Road which also provides direct access to Platform 2.
A section of the 10 kilometre Box Hill to Ringwood walking and cycling path has been completed as part of the project.
