CPB Contractors, with its Alliance partners, has completed four level crossing removals and removed another nine crossings as part of the Victorian Government’s program to remove 50 dangerous and congested level crossings across Melbourne.
The two project packages included rebuilding eight stations, upgrading platform infrastructure and rail systems, laying new track and managing complex interfaces between construction, rail operations and live traffic. The project was completed in 2018.
Our Alliance brought strong capabilities and ensured the project achieved its objectives to deliver a safer and faster rail network.
Works package: Caulfield to Dandenong
CPB Contractors was awarded an Alliance contract with the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) to design and construct the Level Crossing Removal Project: Caulfield to Dandenong in Melbourne in April 2016.
The project removed nine level crossings between Caulfield and Dandenong in Melbourne’s south‐eastern suburbs, as well as rebuild five railway stations. Works was completed in 2018.

Works package: Furlong and Main roads in St Albans, Heatherdale Road in Mitcham & Blackburn Road in Blackburn
CPB Contractors was awarded an Alliance contract with the Victorian Government to design and construct four of Melbourne’s level crossing removals in September 2015.
Alliance participants included Leighton Contractors, Aurecon and Hyder Consulting with VicRoads, Public Transport Victoria and Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM).
The project removed level crossings at Furlong and Main roads in St Albans, Heatherdale Rd in Mitcham and Blackburn Rd in Blackburn.
At each location, the rail line was lowered under the road. St Albans, Ginifer and Heatherdale stations were re‐built with platforms below street level and Blackburn Station was also upgraded.
Works began at Main Road and Furlong Road and completed in 2017. The removal of Heatherdale and Blackburn Road level crossings subsequently commenced and took 12 to 18 months to complete.
