Major works are on track at Clyde Road, Berwick as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP).

LXRP staff are continuing works that will see the new road underpass opened in late February.

In the past week, staff installed architectural concrete panels in the underpass, began installing a comprehensive drainage network under Clyde Road to prevent the new underpass from flooding and prepared to build new shared use paths.

Soon the team will lay asphalt, complete line marking on Clyde Road and create new surfaces for the shared paths.

LXRP thanked the community for their patience as works progress to reopen a level crossing-free Clyde Road.

Enterprise Avenue will remain open at all times during major works, under changed traffic conditions.

Traffic has been switched over to the other side of the intersection of Enterprise Avenue and Clyde Road.

Residents have been asked to follow signage and traffic conditions and to allow extra time when travelling through the area.

Buses replace trains on sections of the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines until Thursday 10 February.

Clyde Road Berwick will be closed in both directions between the level crossing and the Langmore Lane/Mansfield Street intersection until 11.59pm on Sunday 20 February.

Berwick’s Reserve Street and Jane Street between Clyde Road and Evan Street will also be closed until the same day.
