Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal Project
Victoria
The Caulfield to Dandenong (CTD) Level Crossing Removal Project removed nine of the most dangerous and congested level crossings on Melbourne’s busiest rail line. The project was awarded to the Caulfield to Dandenong Alliance in 2016, which consists of Lendlease, CPB Contractors, Aurecon, WSP, Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) and the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP).
Major elements of the project, which was completed in 2019 are the removal of nine level crossings via three sections of elevated rail, five new elevated stations, upgraded rail infrastructure to support bigger, high capacity trains, and a 22ha linear park with activity nodes created beneath the elevated structures.
