Site investigations to remove the level crossing at Webb Street in Narre Warren will continue on Friday 29 July.

The preliminary works at Narre Warren Station and in the rail corridor between Strawbent Rise and Crowley Avenue will occur from 7am to 7pm each day Friday 29 July to Monday 1 August and from 7am to 7pm each day Friday 5 August to Monday 7 August.

Buses will replace trains between Westall, Pakenham and Cranbourne station during these times.

Nearby site investigations at the Narre Warren station car park and rail corridor will also occur on weekdays throughout July and August.

During these works, the site shed will remain in the north-west corner of the Narre Warren Station car park and 10 spaces will be unavailable during this time.

As the work crew moves across the car park, a further five car parks will be occupied in each location.

Closures will be clearly marked and will have temporary fencing in place for the safe of the community and crews.

Access to the station car park will be maintained at all times.

The investigations are being completed in preparation for the level crossing removal at Narre Warren station, which is expected to start in late 2022 and removed by 2025.

The investigations aim to examine the location of essential underground services using non-destructive digging.
