Cranbourne's Camms Road Level Crossing Removal Reaches Major Milestones

Major works on the Camms Road Level Crossing Removal Project in Cranbourne are complete, with the new Cranbourne Station car park and plaza opened in August 2024. This marks one of the delivered stages in a broader set of rail and road improvements across the area.

Line Duplication and Station Works

The Victorian Government is investing over AUD $1 billion to duplicate 8 km of the Cranbourne line between Cranbourne and Dandenong, remove 11 level crossings, and build a new Merinda Park Station. These rail upgrades form the core of current activity on the corridor. The Evans Road bridge remains under construction with a target to remove the Evans Road level crossing by the end of 2026, reconnecting Lyndhurst, Lynbrook, and Cranbourne West areas after 15 years.

Road Intersection and Duplication Projects

A contract was signed for the Thompsons Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road intersection upgrade in Clyde, which will replace a roundabout with traffic lights and be completed by mid-2027. The Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade project is duplicating the existing road to serve as the primary northbound route from South Gippsland Highway, reducing traffic on Cranbourne’s High Street. These measures address capacity on key local routes serving Clyde and surrounding suburbs.

Evidence for the status of each project comes directly from project fact sheets and updates issued by the delivery agencies. The Camms Road car park and plaza opening date, the $1 billion investment figure, the 8 km duplication length, the 11 level crossings target, the Evans Road end-2026 deadline, the 15-year reconnection period, the mid-2027 intersection completion, and the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road duplication purpose are all stated in the source documents.

Residents can monitor the Big Build website and local council channels for any further updates on construction staging and traffic management as the remaining works progress toward their stated completion windows.
