Brunt Road complete

After the bridge was opened in April, works are now complete at the former Brunt Road level crossing.

Crews have completed the finishing touches on the road bridge and surrounding area with a new footpath across the bridge, painting the concrete retaining walls and planting 100 trees and over 50,000 plants, shrubs and grasses.

The new road bridge eliminated the previous level crossing, providing a safer and more direct link to local schools, shops and services on either side of the rail line.

Level Crossing Removal Project recently hosted a community event to celebrate the end of the project and thank the Beaconsfield and Officer community, treating almost 300 locals to a range of activities, including fun-size diggers and cranes, building blocks and interactive learning stations.

LXRP will now pack up its site offices and amenities and move out of the area.
