Permanent closure of the Helena Streel level crossing (July 10 2024)
The Helena Street level crossing will close permanently at 7.00am on July 10. Closure of the Helena Street level crossing will allow for works to continue on the new station building, platforms and overpass across the rail. The new station will be built to the east of the existing station, partially where the Helena Street crossing is now.
Most vehicles are expected to use the newly created Cale Street level crossing which will open at 7pm on July 12. This crossing will also allow for pedestrian movements. An alternative crossing point is also available at Morrison Road.
There will be a 60-hour transition period where both level crossings will be closed due to safety commissioning testing. The below map highlights the alternative pedestrian and vehicle crossing points between 10-12 July.
Dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
