The next step in the Level Crossing Removal Project’s Narre Warren transformation is about to begin, with site works in preparation for the construction of an elevated rail bridge and Webb Street level crossing removal underway.
The new Narre Warren Station will feature elevated platforms on an almost one-kilometre rail bridge with access to trains via a wave-like staircase and lifts.
The new station, set to open in 2025, will offer a secure bike cage and hoops, a taxi zone, a drop- off/pick-up zone, a signalised pedestrian crossing, and wider bus bays.
On Thursday 8 September Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas was joined by Premier Daniel Andrews and Labor Narre Warren North candidate Belinda Wilson to inspect the site
Mr Maas said he was excited for works to begin.
“It was great to see the eye-catching designs recently released for the new Narre Warren Station and we can’t wait to see early works kick off this week,” Mr Maas said.
The level crossing removal project has removed 65 crossings to date, with 85 in total to be removed at its completion, including the removal of every crossing on the Pakenham line.
