The Calder Park Drive, Calder Park level crossing removal project has achieved another major milestone, with the last concrete panel for the road bridge wall lifted into place.
Crews have been installing the giant panels piece by piece since February, as well as 2304 steel reinforcement straps to hold the panels in place.
The design of the 264 concrete panels – some measuring up to 8.5m – was inspired by the nearby Organ Pipes rock facade.
The reinforced retaining walls support new road bridge infrastructure and allow for beams to be lifted into place in the next stage of construction.
Over the past few months, crews have also been working on building the foundations of the road bridge and completing ground improvement works.
Getting rid of the level crossing at Calder Park Drive will make journeys faster and local roads safer.
The Calder Park Drive Level Crossing will be gone for good in 2025 and bring the Sunbury Line one step closer to being level crossing free in 2025.
