We’re removing 8 level crossings on the Upfield Line to improve safety, reduce congestion and to pave the way for future upgrades including extra train services on the line in the future.

We’ve already removed 5 level crossings on the Upfield Line with 8 more going for good in 2030:

• Albion Street, Brunswick
• Hope Street, Brunswick
• Victoria Street, Brunswick
• Albert Street, Brunswick
• Dawson Street, Brunswick
• Union Street, Brunswick
• Brunswick Road, Brunswick
• Park Street, Parkville.

We’re removing these level crossings by building a 2.1km rail bridge over the roads, creating 2 MCGs worth of new community open space and improving east-west connections.

We’ll build 2 modern and accessible stations in new locations in Brunswick’s north and south, with direct and easy access between train services and residential areas, RMIT University, community and education facilities, employment, retail and dining options.

We’ll also transform the Upfield Bike Path by delivering separate bike and walking paths, improving journeys for the 2500 bike riders and pedestrians who already use the path daily.
