About

We’re removing the dangerous and congested level crossings in Newport as part of works to make the Werribee Line level crossing free by 2030. With no level crossings on the line, journeys will be faster and local roads safer.

We’re removing the level crossing at Maddox Road by building a rail bridge over the rail line, improving safety, and reducing congestion.

If we could avoid closing the Champion Road level crossing, we would. The only feasible design for this location is to close the crossing and build a new link road to keep vehicles moving.

Champion Road will be closed when the Maddox Road level crossing is removed in 2026.

cHAT TO THE TEAM

Join us for a face-to-face community information session to chat with the project team and learn more about the Maddox Road and Champion Road, Newport projects.

These in-person sessions will run for 45 minutes, and registration is essential. During this time, information will be on display for you to view at your own pace, and project team members will be on hand to answer questions.  The sessions will primarily focus on the Newport level crossing removal sites, however we will have information available about Hudsons Road, Spotswood Level Crossing Removal Project.
