Level Crossing Removal

The Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) was established by the Victorian Government to oversee one of the largest rail infrastructure projects in the state’s history.

Central to the project is the elimination of 85 level crossings across metropolitan Melbourne by 2025, in addition to other rail network upgrades such as new train stations, track duplication and train stabling yards.

Some of the core benefits that come from removing a level crossing are:

• improving safety, by removing the danger of trains sharing a crossing with vehicles and other users
• reducing congestion, by eliminating frustrating delays caused by boom gates and allowing more vehicles to pass through
• improving travel time reliability, by removing uncertainty around when boom gate closures will occur and how long they will be down for
• increasing capacity to run more trains on the network, without boom gates delaying vehicles and other users.
