CONTRACTS to build elevated rail at Parkdale have been signed.
Sky rail will be built to replace the level crossings at Warrigal Road in Mentone and Parkers Road in Parkdale. Last week the Level Crossing Removal Project confirmed that a contract worth $450 million to deliver the project had been signed.
A new Parkdale Station will be built as part of the project. The state government has announced it intends to remove all level crossings on the Frankston line by 2029. The Parkdale level crossings are expected to be gone by 2025.
The project will be delivered by Acciona, Coleman Rail, WSP, Metro Trains Melbourne, and the Level Crossing Removal Project.
