The Cardinia Road, Pakenham level crossing will be removed by building a road bridge. It’s one of 17 level crossings to go on the Pakenham line. Removing the level crossing will improve traffic flow, provide the opportunity for more train services in the future and improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
