Caulfield and Dandenong were removed in 2018 as part of the Caulfield to Dandenong skyrail project. This included the removal of nine level crossings and the reconstruction of five elevated stations along the corridor. The second phase of removals involves removing individual crossings along the corridor through a variety of methods by 2025. Some crossings have been removed through elevating the rail corridor, some by lowering or raising the road, with other crossings being removed by closing the crossing off from motor traffic. These projects will leave the entirety of the Cranbourne line level crossing free by 2025, with projects on the Sunbury line leaving the entire Sunshine-Dandenong corridor crossing free by the opening of the Metro Tunnel in 2025. Cranbourne Line Upgrade Announced in the lead up to the 2018 Victorian state election, the Cranbourne line would receive a $1 billion upgrade to coincide with the opening of the Metro Tunnel. The project is being delivered by the Level Crossing Removal Project, and will include: The removal of the four remaining level crossings (50% complete) Evans Road, Lyndhurst (complete) Greens Road, Dandenong South (complete) Camms Road, Cranbourne (gone by 2024) Webster Street, Dandenong (gone by 2025) The duplication of 8km (4.97mi) of single track between Dandenong South and Cranbourne (complete) The instillation of a second rail bridge at Abbotts Road and Eumemmerring Creek in Dandenong South (complete) The reconstruction of Merinda Park station (complete) The delivery of a new rail connection for the Port Rail Shuttle Network (underway) In 2020, the level crossing at Evans Road in Lyndhurst was removed through the construction of a road bridge over the rail line. In early 2021, the first platform of the newly rebuilt Merinda Park station was opened, with the second platform opening a year later. In February 2022, the second platform at Merinda Park was opened along with the completion of duplication works. After the duplication works, the line could now handle 10-minute frequencies during peak periods. As a result, the timetable was rewritten to allow for 50 extra Cranbourne services to operate every week. Alongside the duplication works, all level crossings on the line will be removed. The Cranbourne line is projected to become the first crossing-free line on the network, with the remaining two crossings and other upgrade works expected to be completed by 2025. Network and Operations Services Services on the Cranbourne line operates from approximately 4:00
