Queen’s Birthday long weekend

As part of Victoria’s Big Build, works on the Metro Tunnel, Sunbury Line Upgrade, level crossing removals and Regional Rail Revival Projects will continue.
There’ll be critical maintenance on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Frankston lines and major works in the City Loop, as well as Route 58 tram stop upgrades at South Yarra Station.

Plan ahead and check your timetable before you travel.
Major works this winter
As part of Victoria’s Big Build, major works will continue in June, July and August to remove more than 20 dangerous and congested level crossings, including the Ferguson Street level crossing in Williamstown. The Metro Tunnel, Sunbury Line Upgrade and Regional Rail Revival projects on the Geelong, Warrnambool, Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill lines will also progress.
Critical maintenance works will also take place on our rail and tram networks to ensure services continue to run reliably. There’ll be disruptions to the public transport and road networks while these works take place. Be sure to plan ahead and allow extra time.
