WORK to install new traffic lights on Armstrongs Road and Railway Parade in Seaford has been completed.
The new lights have been switched on. They were built as part of level crossing removal works in the area.
Before the lights were installed, motorists had to stop at a stop sign before crossing onto Railway Parade from Armstrongs Road.
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said she was glad to see the lights turned on. “It was fantastic to see these traffic lights switched on at Seaford — a moment I know the community has been eagerly anticipating, which in addition to level crossing removals will make the area safer for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians,” she said. “The upgrade will be especially welcomed by families during the morning and afternoon peak.”
Buses are currently replacing trains between Mordialloc and Frankston. The line is expected to reopen on 22 November, with new stations at Edithvale, Chelsea, and Bonbeach set to open as well.
There have been six level crossings removed on the southern end of the Frankston line in Carrum, Seaford, and Frankston in the last three years.
