Major works for a new Melbourne train station are underway at this beachside suburb, including level crossing removals and new rail bridges.
The Victorian government is building a brand new Melbourne train station as part of this major infrastructure project.
The project eliminates level crossings at McDonald Street in Mordialloc and Station Street in Aspendale through new rail bridges. Improvements to the local traffic network allow the level crossing at Bear Street to be closed to vehicles. This aims to create a vibrant station precinct with safe pedestrian and cyclist access.
The Victorian government also builds a new Mordialloc Station as part of the project. The Melbourne train station reconstruction forms part of broader network improvements across the Frankston Line.
