Commuters can have their say on how they use Maddox and Champion roads as part of a new Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) survey.
The survey will inform LXRP about how locals use the road network.
Community consultation and further investigations will inform design improvements to the local traffic network to maintain connectivity between Newport and Williamstown.
A closure is the preferred solution for the removal of the level crossing at Champion Road.
The Maddox Road crossing in Newport will be removed in 2026, with an elevated rail bridge replacing the boom gates.
The level crossing works are said to ease congestion, improve safety and deliver a brand-new station on track to be delivered two years ahead of schedule on the Werribee Line.
Alongside community consultation, LXRP will shortly be undertaking site investigations to help shape the project.
The team will be carrying out detailed site investigations and traffic and engineering assessments to help inform the final designs.
The survey will remain open for one month , locals can either fill out the survey online or in person.
At Hudsons Road in Spotswood, a rail bridge will be built over the road and a new elevated Spotswood Station will open in 2028.
The new station will include modern amenities, and more accessible facilities for commuters.
The Maidstone Street level crossing in Altona will be removed, with a road bridge to be built at this location.
