Main Street open, McGregor Closed

Main Street is back open with residents greeted to a brand new roundabout under the rail bridge while McGregor Road closes for almost a month.

The old train tracks are gone from Main Street with the street opening back up on Monday 15 July.

Traffic returned after a month-long closure since 12 June, where the road under the bridge was ripped up, repaved and landscaped around the large supporting column.

It fits within the ongoing works of Level Crossing Removal Project, the outbound side of Pakenham Station remains under construction and is expected to be complete by Spring

Works have now moved to mend the old rail line under McGregor Road.

The road closed at the rail bridge on Wednesday 17 July, it is expected to be reopened by Friday 16 August.

Henty Street and Rogers Street will also be closed at the intersection of McGregor Road.

Level Crossing Removal Project will remove the old rail track, build a new signalised pedestrian crossing, and resurface and line mark the road.

In the future, Racecourse Road will be addressed, as well as the construction of open space under the full stretch of the rail bridge.
