Clyde Road underpass underway

Major works are underway to remove the level crossing at Clyde Road, Berwick by building a road underpass beneath the rail line.

Trucks have moved 36,000 cubic metres of material to excavate the road underpass, which could fill more than 14 Olympic sized swimming pools.

The new road underpass will open in late February.

Weighing in at a whopping 650 tonnes, a crawler crane had to be delivered in pieces to the Clyde Road, Berwick level crossing removal site.

The massive crane was used to lift the new rail bridge into place.

The rail bridge is made up of 12 steel bridge beams each weighing eight tonnes and measuring 25 metres long.

Pakenham trains are expected to resume operating on the new rail bridge from Friday 11 February.

The Clyde Road level crossing will be removed later this month, with the road remaining closed to vehicles between Enterprise Avenue and the Langmore Lane/Mansfield Street intersection until 11.59pm on Sunday 20 February.
